Margolioth (מַרְגָּלִיּוֹת) is a family name that originates from the Hebrew and Greek word "מרגלית margālīth (margolis), margālīyôth (pl.)" , which means "pearl". Variants are: Margolis, Margulis, Margules, Margulas, Margoliouth, Margoliut(h), Margo, Margolin, Margolinski, Margolinsky, etc. Various family names of same meaning are Perlman, Perelman, Perlstein, Perlmutter, Perelmuth, etc.
Polish family of Talmudic scholars that traces its descent from Rashi, on the one side, and from the families of Shor and Samuel Edels on the other. The first Margolioth known was Samuel, dayyan at Posen about 1550; one of his sons, Moses Mordecai, was rabbi at Cracow. The daughter of R. Moses Mordecai married a relative, Mendel Margolioth, rabbi at Przemysl (d. April 2, 1652), and bore him eight sons, all of whom were distinguished Talmudists. It is not certain from which one of Mendel Margolioth's sons Judah of Potok (d. 1672) was descended. From Mordecai ben Menahem Monis, the great-great-grandson of Judah of Potok, descended a line of scholars. Mordecai himself was a cabalist and had Talmudic controversies with the author of Noda' bi-Yehudah, among others. The most renowned of this branch of the Margolioth family was Ephraim Solomon of Brody (d. there August 5, 1828). Ephraim Solomon was not a rabbi, but his numerous works were accepted in the rabbinical world as authoritative. There are numerous scholars bearing the name of Margolioth whose relationship to the family, though probable, can not be determined.
