Historically, the name Greta is a short form of the German name Margarita (Margarethe), which, in turn, goes back to the ancient Greek word margarites (μαργαρι^της). But if Margarita sounds soft and classic, then the abbreviation Greta eventually acquired its own, much firmer and bolder character.
The main meaning of the name is "pearl" or "mother of pearl"
Traditionally, it is believed that this name gives its owner a strong, independent and self-sufficient character. They are somewhat straightforward, they act without regard for other people's opinions, they may not notice that they are hurting someone's interests, or they simply ignore them.
