Historical Context

The root of Margeaux is the long-established name Margaret, from Greek margarítēs, meaning pearl. Over centuries the name moved through Latin and Old French into English and many other languages, gaining a wide range of forms such as Marguerite in French, Margherita in Italian and Margarita in Spanish.

Margeaux itself is a modern respelling influenced by French spellings such as Margaux and the -eaux ending commonly seen in French place names.
