Mamie

Mamie is a girl's name that began as a shortened form of the Greek Margaret. Today, however, it has transformed into a sweet name with a place of its own on the charts. As Margaret means "pearl," so too does Mamie. With a meaning rich in old-world charm and luxurious connotations, this is an elegant title for any little one. Mamie is also connected to the Latin and Greek feminine name Mary, meaning “beloved,” “wished for child,” “sea of bitterness,” and “rebelliousness.” With a slightly different spelling, the name is borne by Patrick Dennis's eccentric fictional character Auntie Mame— the central character of a book, a Broadway musical, and a movie.
