About Meirion
This mythical feeling Welsh name derives from a coastal region in Wales, Meirionnydd, meaning "land belonging to Meirion". In Welsh legend, Meirion was the grandson of the warrior prince Cunedda, and it is thought his name is a Welsh form of the Latin Marianus, meaning "manly", "male" or "Mars". Said as may-ree-on or mehr-ee-on, it has been given to a small number of boys in Wales since the 90s.
Pronounced MAY-ree-un.
