Merridith is Welsh in Origin.
Merridith is a modern English spelling of Meredith, from the Welsh personal name Maredudd (later Meredydd). Its exact sense is debated; many relate it to Old Welsh elements meaning “great lord/ruler,” while a folk reading gives “sea lord.” In English, it’s pronounced like Meredith: MER-ih-dith.
Used widely in medieval Wales for men - borne by figures such as Maredudd ap Tudur of the Tudor line - the name moved into English records and also became a surname. The surname Meredith developed as an anglicized patronymic (ap Maredudd), and the given name gained wider Anglophone use through migration and literature. It remained masculine in Wales but grew unisex abroad, trending female in North America from the mid-1900s. Variants include Meredith, Meridith, Meredyth, Merideth, and Welsh Meredydd/Maredudd; nicknames Meri or Merry.
