Meridith is an uncommon yet distinctive given name of English origin. It is a feminine variant of the name Meredith, which is derived from the Old Welsh personal name Merlin. The name Meridith was popular during the Middle Ages in Britain but has since become quite rare. It does not have any specific meaning or association with the seasons or direction as some names might suggest. Instead, it stands alone as a unique and historical choice for a girl's name.
"Meredith experienced its peak popularity during the late 1920s with six births recorded each year. However, it maintained a steady presence throughout the mid-century, with five births occurring consistently from the late 1940s to the early 1950s."
