MERIEL.
A variant form of Scottish Muriel
(q.v.), meaning "little Mary."
Dame Meriel Lucy Talbot (d. 1956), was a British public
servant and women's welfare worker. Meriel Forbes (d. 2000), was a
British actress. (Wiki)
MURIEL, MERIEL.
Littleton derives this female name from Gr. μυρον, which is rendered "a
liquid perfume or oil ointment, any sweet ointment." Others say
from μυρρα, myrrh, a plant like myrrh; but if so
it probably came through the A.S. myrre, murre. It is found
written Muriell, Meriall, Meriel, Maryell; and as a surname Merrill,
Mirihel, Miriel, Myrill, Muryell, and Muriel; and is no doubt derived from
Muireal, a Gaelic diminutive of Muire,
i.e. Mary.
(Praenomina, Charnock, 1882).
