Meriah
Meaning of Meriah
Meriah (pronounced muh-RYE-uh) bursts onto the scene as a shimmering twist on Mariah—a lyrical offshoot of Latin Maria and the ancient Hebrew Miriam, weaving together strands of “beloved child,” “wished-for blessing” and “the Lord is exalted.” With its airy cadence and star-dusted finish, Meriah feels like sunrise scattering golden confetti across a sleepy sky, equal parts grace and gumption. It’s never stormed the top 100—in recent years it’s hovered playfully in the U.S. rankings around the 900s—but that underdog sparkle is its secret superpower, gifting each Meriah a dash of delicious mystery. This is a name that twirls through introductions like a confetti cannon, leaving smiles in its wake and promising a life as bright and boundless as its own spirited syllables.
