[Facts] Meryl - Welsh?
I've heard say that Meryl is a Welsh variant of the name; is this true?

No. Looking at Meryl births in the UK birth records, they seem to have started in 1887 in Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire. None of the first bearers of the name in the UK in its first twenty years were Welsh, so it didn't originate in Wales.
