Meier is an ear-catching masculine name, certainly capable of turning heads. Rooted in the High German meier, which refers to a "bailiff," "administrator," or "steward," Meier may appear a good fit for growing confidence. This Germanic word stems from the Latin maior, meaning "greater." Once a title reserved for estate landowners and leaders, it eventually became a term for a "farmer." Meier also finds a substantial claim from the Hebrew root meir, often translated as "one who brings light" or "enlightener." Whether your child aspires to a higher stature or a higher being, Meier is a fine example of reaping what you sow and the value of planting seeds wisely.
