Margarita is a feminine given name in Latin and Eastern European languages. In Latin it came from the Greek word margaritari (μαργαριτάρι), meaning pearl, which was borrowed from the Persians. [1] (In Sogdian, it was marγārt. In modern Persian, the word has become مروارید, morvārīd, meaning 'pearl'.)
When the word "margarita" is used by itself, it typically refers to the lime or lemon juice margarita. Still, when other juices are used, the fruits are typically added as adjectives in the name, with lime juice or lemon juice added to give it a characteristic margarita flavor (a wedge of lime is often added to the glass).
