Merideth is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.
Recently, the name Merideth has been given only a handful of times a year and is therefore particularly rare, at least in the US. In recent years, not even one girl in 100,000 has been named Merideth. That means that a girl named Merideth is exceptional and may not meet another person with the same name her whole life. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Merideth.
If your name is Merideth your parents may be very proud to let their daughter swim against the tide: The name Merideth never ranked higher than position 1,431 in our statistics, and for many years not a single parent had the creative idea of naming their daughter Merideth. But something caused mothers and fathers in 1972 to choose the name more often than usual - only compared to the rest of the time, of course. You probably still won't find many children named Merideth because that was several decades ago - unless, of course, you have some very creative parents in the neighborhood.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Merideth was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
As in the last century, Merideth still proves to be exceptional. Even in 2022, the name was given very rarely - in fact, only 5 times in the entire U.S. So, a Merideth from 2022 will need very good binoculars to spot the next namesake of the same age.
It is not so easy to find a woman or girl named Merideth in the USA. Although the name is not sooooo rare overall, it is only at home in a few selected regions of the USA. In the entire United States there are currently a total of 148 women and girls named Merideth, but there are vast areas of the country where not a single person with this name can be found. In fact, the 148 women and girls named Merideth live in no more than 8 different states, including for example California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Michigan and Mississippi. In all other 41 states, there are no – or, to be precise, less than a handful – women called Merideth. (To explain: The official statistics provide the data per state only if at least five women with a specific name live in the same state. So, it’s quite possible that there are one or two states where someone with the name Merideth lives although the name is not listed in the official statistics. Should you be one of those rare people whose name is Merideth and you live outside the states highlighted on the map, please let us know so we can improve our statistics.). The state with the most girls and women named Merideth relative to its female population is Texas. And even there, only one in 219,716 women and girls would raise her hand if you asked, who is called Merideth.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter M is a quite popular first letter for girls' names. That’s because 8.5% of all common girls’ names in the US begin with this letter. Only the first letters A and S are more common for girls' names.
With eight letters, the name Merideth is long compared to other names. In fact, 14.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly eight letters. 78% of all first names are shorter, while only 8% of all boys’ and girls’ names use nine letters or even more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long with no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
Therefore: As 8.5% of all girls' names start with an M, this initial letter occurs nearly 2.5-times as often as all 26 letters on average – and the most common one of all the girls’ names starting with M is Mary.
If your name is Merideth and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Merideth, you can simply say:
Mouse
Elephant
Rocket
Igloo
Dinosaur
Elephant
Tiger
