Meade is a masculine name with English origins, derived from an Old English surname meaning 'meadow' or referring to someone who lived near a meadow. Alternatively, it may have evolved from the occupation of a mead-maker, mead being a fermented honey drink with ancient origins. As a given name, Meade has remained relatively uncommon, giving it a distinctive quality that appeals to parents seeking something traditional yet unique. The name carries a certain aristocratic air, perhaps influenced by historical figures like General George Meade who led Union forces at Gettysburg.
