Meaning & History
This is the name of a character from the book "Cloud Atlas" written by David Mitchell, which was adapted to film (with the same title) in 2012. The author of the book probably derived the name from the English word meronym, which is a linguistic term used to refer to a part of the whole. The word is ultimately derived from Greek μέρος (meros) meaning "part" combined with Greek ὄνομα (onoma) meaning "name".
