About Meriel
This pleasant modernization of a dated original is still rare but has real modern possibilities. Alternate versions include Merial and Meryl.
Meriel was given to fewer than five baby girls in the US last year, making this a choice that feels at once unique yet familiar, with a fashionable ocean-related meaning. If you still need convincing, root name Muriel is an angel name, for the angel who governs the month of June.
Pronounced MER-ee-ul.
As of October 2026, Meriel ranked #8800 in US births in 2014 SSA, peaked at #2146 in 1934.
