Meiron is Hebrew in Origin.
Meiron is a modern Hebrew given name rooted in place: it derives from Meiron/Meron (Hebrew: Miron), the Galilean village and mountain associated with the tomb of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai and the Lag BaOmer pilgrimage. As a toponymic choice, it carries connotations of spiritual gathering, hills, and northern Israel rather than a transparent lexical meaning. The name came into wider Israeli use in the mid‑20th century amid a broader trend of adopting landscape and heritage names; it remains uncommon outside Hebrew‑speaking communities.
Meiron also overlaps with the international name Miron, ultimately from Greek Myron (“myrrh; fragrant ointment”), transmitted through Byzantine and Slavic traditions; in this sense Meiron functions as a spelling variant. Related forms include Meron (Hebrew), Miron (Slavic/Romanian), and Myron (English). Short forms may include Ron/Roni. The name is predominantly masculine but can appear unisex in contemporary use.
Meiron is rarely chosen. In all, it turns up just 28 times, across 7 countries.
