Hi, I was curious to see if anyone here knows the origins of this name and it's meaning. I've heard it is of hebrew origins but i'm unsure. Also, the pronunciation may be obvious but I have been known to be wrong so an assurance on that would be helpful too. If anyone can help, please respond.
Thank you so much!

The place name Erith is thought to mean something like muddy Harbour according to various sites two of which I list below, though how reliable that information is I am not sure.

I have seen Erith listed as being Hebrew and meaning flower but I am not sure how reliable that information is either.
