Meinradus is in Origin.

Meinradus is the Latinized form of the Germanic personal name Meinrad, built from Old High German megin (“strength, might”) and rāt (“counsel, advice”), yielding the sense “mighty counsel” or “strong advisor.” The -us ending reflects the learned and ecclesiastical Latin register in which medieval scribes recorded given names, especially in hagiography and charter Latin.

The name is closely associated with the 9th‑century hermit and martyr Saint Meinrad of Einsiedeln, whose cult fostered its spread through Alemannic regions. As a result, Meinradus appears frequently in monastery rolls, martyrologies, and parish registers, and the form Meinrad remained current in Catholic parts of Switzerland, Austria, and southern Germany; it traveled farther with monastic foundations such as St. Meinrad in Indiana. Variants and related forms include Meinrad (standard German), Meginrad (older), Menrad (Upper German; also a surname), and the Latin spellings Meginradus/Maginradus. Diminutives like Meini occur in Swiss usage.
