Meredyth Origin and Meaning

The name Meredyth is a girl's name.

Meredyth represents a distinctive spelling variation of the Welsh name Meredith, which traditionally means 'great lord' or 'sea lord.' This alternative spelling with a 'y' instead of an 'i' gives the classic name a more distinctive, slightly antiquated feel. While Meredith has historically shifted from a masculine name to a predominantly feminine one in the 20th century, Meredyth maintains this feminine association while adding a touch of uniqueness. The name carries Celtic heritage and literary associations, evoking images of Welsh landscapes and mythology. Though less common than the standard spelling, Meredyth appeals to parents seeking a name with established roots but a slightly more uncommon presentation.
