Meremoth is Hebrew in Origin.

Meremoth is a masculine Hebrew name (Hebrew: Meremot מְרֵמוֹת), drawn from the root rum “to be high, exalt,” related to marom “height.” As a plural abstract, Meremoth literally means “heights” or “exalted places,” and by extension carries the sense of “exaltation” or “lofty.”

In the Hebrew Bible the name belongs to several post‑exilic priests active in the restoration era: a priest who weighed temple offerings (Ezra 8:33), a wall‑repairer listed as “Meremoth son of Uriah” (Nehemiah 3:4, 21), and a signatory to the covenant (Nehemiah 10:5; cf. 12:3). Usage today is rare outside scholarly, liturgical, and some Jewish communities, though it appeals to parents seeking an uncommon scriptural name with dignified meaning. Variants follow transliteration: Meremoth (traditional English), Meremot (modern Israeli), and Meremot/Meremoth with accent or vowel marks in academic forms; possible short forms include Remo or Mero.
