Additional information about the name Greta:
Greta is an abbreviated form of Margaret originating from Sweden. Margaret comes from the Latin ‘margarita’ which means ‘pearl’. Ancient Persians thought that pearls were formed when oysters came to the water’s surface to look at the moon, and a drop of dew formed in their shells which was turned to pearl by the moons beams. This romantic story has given the meaning ‘Lights Creation’ to the names. Greta Garbo was a Swedish actress.
