The Significance of Names in Margaret's Family

The Significance of Names in Margaret's Family

Margaret was born very early in the morning, and her parents were choosing names for their meaning. Her name, Margaret, means pearl. Dorothea means "a gift of God." Julia (which means "soft hair") was named after the girl's grandmother and her sister. Only Elizabeth, which means "vowed to God," was named without the parents considering the meaning.
