Help[Facts] Re: Märgen/Maergen
in reply to a message by Margen
I am German and I would say that Märgen is a form of Margaretha.
There is a church named "St. Märgen". Originally it was „St. Marien Zelle“ and founded by Duke Bertholt II (died 1111). It was later named St. Märgen and it was used by the Augustine congregation.

Thanks! That's interesting because the name Margaret/Margherita has a long history in my Dad's family (he's Italian). My grandmother's name is Margherita and my sister's name is Margaret (but we call her Maggie). And here I thought my name was special! ;)
