Meghri is Armenian in Origin.

Meghri is an Armenian feminine name (Մեղրի) from Armenian meghr, “honey,” with the -i ending meaning “of,” giving “of honey” or “honeyed.” It ultimately goes back to the Proto-Indo-European root *médʰu, shared with English mead and Sanskrit madhu. Meghri is also a historic town in Armenia’s Syunik province, and the toponym likely shares the same etymology, reinforcing the name’s familiarity.

Used rarely but recognizably among Armenian speakers and in the diaspora, Meghri is chosen for its warm, sweet imagery.
