Meredydd Forename Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

This is said to be the same name as Meriadek or Meiradwg, and also as the] Irish name O’Muireadwg, and the Scotch Mac Muireadaigh and Muireadhach. O’Reilly, however, renders the Irish word muireadach ‘a sovereign, a lord; also a man’s name, Morogh.’ It means rather ‘admiral,’ lit. protector of the sea; from muir the sea, eadhach protector. I derive the British name from mawreddwg, mawreddig, magnificent, great, from mawr, great.
