I got this from Google.
Plus I looked up in my copy of "The Greatest Baby Name Book Ever" by
Carol McD.
Wallace, "
Margaret", and Marchietta,
Marketa,
Marketta, Marquetta, and Markita came up, so, while I couldn't pinpoint the language (Span., etc) that it's derived from, it's a pretty good bet 'Marcheta''s a form of
Margaret.
Edit: I've looked back now, and it also lists a Marchita as a form of
Marcia. Oh the possibilities...
