Margriet

Margriet is a Dutch-language name with several uses. In everyday language it is the word for the daisy, the common European wildflower Leucanthemum vulgare. As a given name, Margriet is a Dutch form related to Margareta or Margaret and is used in the Netherlands and Belgium (Flanders).

One prominent bearer of the name is Princess Margriet der Nederlanden, born in 1943, a member of the Dutch royal family. She is the sister of former Queen Beatrix and an aunt to the current king, Willem-Alexander.

Margriet is also the name of a Dutch weekly magazine for women. Published in the Netherlands, the magazine covers topics such as family life, health, fashion, and home, and has a long-standing presence in Dutch media.

In Dutch culture, the flower name margriet, like other flower-derived names, can appear in literature and design as a symbol of cheerfulness and modesty. The multiple uses of Margriet—name, flower term, and publication—reflect its place in Dutch language and culture.
