Margaux

Margaux is a French feminine name derived from the name of the town of Margaux in the Médoc region of France, renowned for its wine production.

The name is thought to have originated from the Gascon language, possibly from the words 'mart' meaning 'border' and 'au' meaning 'to the', referring to the town's location near the Gironde estuary.

Alternatively, it may be derived from the Germanic name 'Mariagau', composed of the elements 'mari' meaning 'famous' and 'gau' meaning 'region'.

The name has been used in France since the Middle Ages and has gained popularity in other parts of the world as well, particularly in English-speaking countries.
