Marideth is a unique and distinctive female given name of American origin, derived from the Scottish surname "Marr." The name is composed of two elements: "Marr," which is thought to be an anglicized form of the Old Norse personal name "Marr," meaning "famous" or "illustrious"; and "eth," a common Scottish diminutive suffix. Thus, Marideth could potentially mean "little famous one." The name has been used sparingly throughout history, contributing to its uniqueness today. It gained some popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century but remains relatively uncommon. As of now, it is not typically associated with any particular culture or language, making it a versatile choice for parents seeking an unusual yet meaningful name for their daughter.
"Marideth was given to 5 girls in 1970 and 6 more in 1976, making a total of 11 babies named Marideth during those years."
