While Meri’s four letters appear in many titles, they also form a feminine name that shines its own light. As a variant of Mary, Meri derives from the Hebrew and Egyptian moniker Miryam. With translations including “sea of bitterness,” “rebelliousness,” “wished-for child,” and “beloved,” Meri could celebrate all the ways you’ll show your little one that they are loved and cherished. In Finnish, Meri means “sea,” arising from the word meri. Just as the ocean is sometimes calm and sometimes filled with waves, your Meri will learn that every day brings new experiences and change.
