MEANING & HISTORY
What does Meryll mean?
Nordic Names identifies Meryll as a spelling of Meryl. The researched chain continues through Muriel to Irish Muirgel and Scottish Muireall.
Muirgel combines Old Irish muir, sea, with gel, bright. Thus bright sea is the inherited root gloss in this documented route, while the doubled l is a later spelling feature.
