Help[Facts] Re: Peggy and Margaret
in reply to a message by Barb
From another similar site: What started out as MEGAN, a Welsh pet form of Margaret, has mutated into all sorts of faux-Irish spellings and pronunciations. To translate Megan et. al. into Irish, you could either use Mairéad (mahr ADE), the long Irish form of Margaret, or Peig (PEG), the short form.
I have also seen Margaret defined as meaning 'Pearl' with Meg and Peg as Greek and Celtic translations for the same.
