Margarida is a Portuguese girl's name, originating from the Latin word for pearl and meaning a daisy or forget-me-not in Portuguese. Short forms include Guida and Maggie (modern, sometimes spelt Magui). Rita, an Italian variation of this name, is very popular on its own.

The English equivalent can be Margaret or Daisy, or by derivation, Madge and Marge.

Not to be mistaken for the popular Mexican alcoholic drink Margarita or the Italian tomato and cheese based pizza Margherita.

Margarida was also the nickname of a famous gay Brazilian soccer referee Jorge José Emiliano dos Santos, who used a very flamboyant style during matches.
