A pearl
Grettel is a diminutive form of Margaret, which originated from the Greek word margarites. While more commonly spelled as Gretel, this double-t variant offers a slightly more modern or distinct visual appeal while maintaining its European folk charm. It is famously associated with the German fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm.
