[Facts] Re: Merald .. origin and meaning?
in reply to a message by jmcabanis
This may be a stretch, but could it possibly be a variant of Emerald? I had a great, great, great-something uncle named Emerald, so I know it could be used as a man's name. I have also found some other odd-looking names that turned out to be from the second part of more common names (Lemon from the biblical name Philemon, Lige from Elijah).
