The name Merneith is a girl's name meaning "beloved by Neith".

An alluring ancient name with feminist history: Merneith was an Ancient Egyptian consort and ruler who may have been the first female pharaoh, and even the first queen regnant in all of recorded history. Her name's meaning refers to the Egyptian goddess Neith, linked to the domains of warfare, motherhood and protecting the dead. With Merneith's sound being similar to Meredith and the cute nickname Meri to boot, we could absolutely imagine this name on a modern baby girl.
