Metah is Greek in Origin.

Metah is a contemporary, embellished spelling of Meta, a traditional German and Slovene short form of Margaret (German Margarete, Slovene Marjeta). Through this lineage it carries the classic meaning “pearl,” from Greek margarites. Meta appears in Central and Northern European records from the 19th and early 20th centuries and also in early U.S. data via immigrant communities. The spelling Metah adds a modern flourish and subtly echoes the Greek-derived prefix meta- (“beyond, after”), giving it a current, tech-forward resonance.

Related and lookalike variants include Meta, Metta (also associated with Pali mettā, “loving-kindness”), Mette (Danish/Norwegian), Meeta (Hindi, “sweet”), and Mehta (primarily an Indian surname/title, often explained from Sanskrit mahita, “esteemed,” and occasionally used as a given name). Diminutives and short forms include Meti and Eta. Usage is largely feminine, though Metah’s sleek sound lends it occasional unisex appeal.
