Magali is the Provençal-Occitan form of Margaret — from Greek margaron (pearl). *Heroine of Frédéric Mistral's epic poem Mirèio (1859), which won him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1904. The song Magali from the poem* — in which the suitor and the maiden trade shape-shifting metaphors — is one of the great love duets of Provençal literature.
Used widely in modern southern France.
Magali does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Magali reduce to 7, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
