I recently learned that actress
Alexis Knapp and her baby daughter both have the middle name
Merizalde, and I am curious to learn what the name's meaning and origin are. I am guessing it may be of Germanic origin, with the first element derived from
mari "famous". The second element is more difficult, but given that it reminds me of the name
Griselda, it may come from
hild "battle".
I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this. Thank you for your time. :)
