Margery is a medieval English form of Margaret, from the Greek for a pearl. Warm and a little rustic, it was one of the most common names in the England of the Middle Ages.
It is remembered through Margery Kempe, the fifteenth-century mystic whose Book is often called the first autobiography written in English.
Vintage, gentle and literary, Margery is a pearl with a long history.
Margery 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 Margery reduce to 6, The Nurturer. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
