'MARE'-ah-duh

"Internet searches for first name returns a meaning of "One who has achieved a high place of honor". As a place name, it appears to come from the name of small village "to the south of" a larger town. There are a few towns in Spain and Mexico that go by Merida, and according to the SurnameDB, there are some individuals in the 15th and 17th centuries that took Merida as their last name. Recently the Pixar movie Brave featured a Scottish princess named Merida. There is no historic record of the name Merida in Scottish history, although the name does seem to fit in. It was the movie Brave that introduced me to this name, and I ended up choosing it for my new daughter."
