Short form of Margherita; used as a name on its own in European languages other than Italian. I use it as a short form of Margherita, which is my middle name.

I always heard that the name Margarita comes from the Greek word Margalithos : precious stone, precious Pearl.

In Israel you hear the name as : Margalitha or Margalith. Also in Greece you hear it with the L and not the R.

In most Catholic contexts, this name is used on its own (independently from Margaret and its forms), originally in reference to the very popular Saint Rita of Cassia.
