Merridith
Merridith Origin and Meaning
Merridith is a variant spelling of Meredith, a name with Welsh origins meaning "great lord" or "sea protector." Originally a male name in Wales (from the elements "mawredd" meaning greatness and "udd" meaning lord), it evolved into a primarily feminine name in the English-speaking world during the 20th century. This particular spelling with double 'r' and the 'i' substitution emerged as parents sought to distinguish the traditional name. Merridith maintains the melodic quality of its standard form while offering visual uniqueness. The name combines strength and elegance, evoking images of both leadership and refinement. Though less common than the traditional spelling, Merridith appeals to parents seeking a name with Celtic roots and a slightly unconventional presentation.
