Marigo

Diminutive of Maria or Margarita. This was borne by 19th-century Greek actress Marigo Alkaiou (1790-1865) and 19th-century Greek revolutionary Marigo Zarafopoula. Another known bearer was the Albanian patriot Marigo Posio (1882-1932), who is chiefly remembered for making the flag raised by Ismail Qemali during the Albanian Declaration of Independence on 28 November 1912.

Allegedly derived from Venetian marigo "mayor of a rural village", itself from Latin maricus. Marigo Posio (née Poçi; 1882–1932) was one of the most distinguished Albanian women, an activist of the Albanian National Awakening and Independence Movement, and consolidating the social status of Albanian women. She is mostly remembered for sewing (or embroidering) the flag raised by Ismail Qemali during the Albanian Declaration of Independence in Vlorë on 28 November 1912.
