Margarita

Margarita as a name

Margarita is a female given name of Spanish origin, which means “daisy” in Spanish. It is a variation of the name Margaret, which comes from the Greek word “margarites” meaning “pearl”. Margarita is a fairly common name in Spanish-speaking countries, as well as in other parts of the world.

In addition to being a personal name, Margarita is also the name of a popular cocktail made with tequila, lime juice, and Cointreau or triple sec, often served in a salt-rimmed glass. The drink is said to have been invented in the 1930s or 1940s, and its name is believed to have been inspired by a woman named Margarita Sames.
