Meyri is in Origin.
Meyri blends several traditions. As a Hebrew-leaning form, it relates to Meir/Meira, from the verb me'ir, 'to give light,' yielding meanings like 'one who shines.' It can also be read as a stylistic cousin of Scottish Gaelic Màiri (Mairi), the local form of Mary from Hebrew Miryam, a name of debated origin often interpreted as 'beloved' and associated with 'star of the sea.'
Meiri appears as a long-standing Jewish surname (notably borne by the medieval Talmudist called "the Meiri"), while Meira has steady modern use in Israel. The y-ending of Meyri fits contemporary naming that softens traditional roots. Variants and cognates include Meiri, Meira, Meyra, Màiri/Mairi, and Mayri; related male form: Meir. Overall, Meyri conveys a bright, rich, cross-cultural heritage.
