Meredith

A Welsh feminine name meaning 'great lord' or 'sea lord,' from Welsh elements meaning 'great' and 'lord' — a name of quiet authority and Celtic grace

Meredith is a name of ancient Welsh nobility that has traveled beautifully into the modern era. It was traditionally a masculine name that gradually shifted to feminine use, and it carries that history in its backbone — there's a strength underneath all its elegance. Female pets named Meredith tend to be self-possessed, intelligent animals with natural authority and a graceful way of handling any situation. The name had a massive cultural boost from Grey's Anatomy, making it feel both classic and contemporary. It suits a composed, dignified dog or a cat who clearly considers herself the CEO of the household.
