The nickname "Peggy" for Margaret is thought to have originated from the nickname "Maggie", which over time changed to "Meggie" and "Meg" due to accents altering vowel sounds. The name then evolved into "Peggy" and "Peg" as a result of a trend to create rhyming nicknames, similar to how "Bill" comes from "William".

I found this on the internet...
