Meaning & History

(female), (male) Probably a contracted form of Meriel, but also associated with the small class of girls' names derived from birds, since it is identical in form with Old French merle ‘blackbird’ (Latin merula). The name came to public notice in the 1930s with the actress Merle Oberon (1911–79, born Estelle Merle O'Brien Thompson).
