This name derives from Latin “margarīta” (perla) via Ancient Greek “margarī́tēs (μαργᾰρῑ́της),” meaning “pearl,” from the name of a legendary third-century Saint. The word is related to “marg” from “marq” or “marka,” meaning “chicken,” probably because pearls looked like small bird eggs. More @Wikipedia
