Meryndah is a modern Australian feminine name, most often viewed as a creative respelling of Merindah, a word widely glossed in Australian Aboriginal sources as "beautiful" or "pretty." The element appears in Australian place and property names, which helped it enter given-name use. The form also echoes Miranda, from Latin mirandus "admirable," so some families read the name as blending Indigenous and classical associations.

Usage is rare but documented in Australia from the mid-20th century, with occasional appearances elsewhere through contemporary, personalized spellings. Variants include Merindah, Merinda, Mirindah, Merynda, and Marindah; short forms such as Merry, Rinda, and Indy are sometimes used. Overall meaning is understood as "beautiful; worthy of admiration," whether taken from the Aboriginal root or by association with Miranda. The y in Meryndah adds a modern stylistic twist while maintaining the gentle three-syllable rhythm.
