Meyrick is a boy’s name of Welsh origin. Derived from the popular surname Merrick, this moniker is primarily thought to trace back to Maurice, which means “dark-skinned” or “Moorish” in Latin. Where Maurice is mostly known for notable saints and soldiers in history, Meyrick made its own mark on the world as a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. Sir Thomas Charlton Meyrick became the first Baronet in 1880.
