Meredif is in Origin.

Meredif is a rare modern variant connected to Welsh Meredith, which ultimately derives from the medieval Welsh names Maredudd and Meredydd. The core elements are generally explained as mawr “great” and udd/iudd “lord, ruler,” yielding the sense “great lord” or “mighty ruler.” The final -f echoes Welsh spelling conventions, where f represents a v sound, though in English Meredif would likely be pronounced with a final -dif.

The name’s roots run deep in Wales: Maredudd was borne by several medieval princes and leaders, including Maredudd ap Owain and Maredudd ap Llywelyn, helping the form Meredith become established and later anglicized as both a surname and a unisex given name. In modern usage Meredith leans feminine in North America while remaining masculine in Wales. Related variants include Meredith, Meredyth, Meridith, Meredydd, and Maredudd; short forms include Meri, Merry, and Red.
