Meryval is an English toponymic given name adapted from the surname and place-name family Merrivale/Merevale, ultimately formed from Old English myrige “pleasant, agreeable” and vale “valley” (from Latin vallis). Its sense is “pleasant valley” or “merry valley,” evoking green dales and pastoral calm. The compact spelling with y adds a modern, lyrical twist while preserving the medieval flavor.

As a forename, Meryval is rare but intelligible in English-speaking countries, emerging from the long tradition of turning surnames and evocative landscapes into given names, a habit seen since the 18th–19th centuries and popular again today. Documented and plausible variants include Merrivale, Merrival, Meryvale, Merival, Merevale, and Merryvale; close creative forms are Merivalle and Merrivall. Nicknames range from Merry/Meri to Val. Unisex in feel, Meryval pairs easily with nature-inspired middles and sits near names like Marigold, Merritt, and Vale.
