Meaning: Meadow

English names have history written all over them, and that’s certainly no exception for Mead. Dating back to medieval England, the name Mead, given to both boys and girls, mainly comes from mǣd, meaning “meadow.” But among epicures, it’s probably known best as a moniker adapted from mead, the mortal and mythical world’s oldest and, perhaps, most loved liquor. Who knows? Maybe Mead could lead your little one to a glory that’s just as lasting.
