An archaic or obsolete word, possibly an old English name or a variant spelling of margarine or marjoram in historical texts.
Likely a historical variant or personal name from English. It may derive from the same root as 'Margaret' (from Greek 'margarites' meaning pearl) or could be related to herb names.
Most modern dictionaries have dropped 'margery' as it's so rarely used—it's a perfect example of how thousands of English words have simply disappeared from use, leaving only traces in old texts and genealogical records.
