What is the meaning of the name Meede ?

Meede is English in Origin.

Meede is a rare English given name and surname form with layered roots. It aligns with Middle English mede/meede, which produced two senses: “meed,” an archaic word for reward or merit (from Old English mēd), and “mead/meadow,” a grassland or hay-field (from Old English mæd). In Ireland, the cognate surname Meade can also reflect an anglicization of Ó Miadhaigh, from miadhach, meaning honorable or dignified. Depending on the lineage you favor, Meede can thus suggest reward, meadow, or honor.

Usage is sparse as a forename and more common historically as a surname in England and Ireland; as a given name it surfaces intermittently from the 19th century onward, typically as a transferred surname or modern respelling. The name reads as gender-neutral. Variants and related forms include Mead, Meade, Meed, and Mede; elaborations such as Meadows occur in English, with Meade most familiar in Irish contexts.
