Meid as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Meid

What is the meaning of the name Meid ?

The baby name Meid is a Female name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced Dutch: /mɛi̯t/ (approx. "mayt"); Anglicized: /meɪd/ ("maid").

Meid is Dutch in Origin.

Meid is a rare given name most plausibly linked to the English surname-first name Mead/Meade, derived from Old English mǣd, meaning “meadow.” In this lineage, Meid reads as a streamlined modern variant evoking open fields and pastoral calm. The spelling also intersects with German and Dutch vocabulary: German Maid and Dutch meid both mean “maiden” or “girl” (colloquial in Dutch), offering a secondary “maiden” nuance, though the word is not commonly used as a formal given name in those languages.

As a given name, Meid appears only sporadically from the late 20th century onward, fitting contemporary tastes for concise, surname-style, and unisex choices. Related forms and near-variants include Mead and Meade; Maida and Maidie are looser, more traditional feminine parallels. Because of its compact form, Meid rarely takes diminutives, though some bearers may informally use Mei.
