We just heard it and really like this name, it's yiddish right? What is the meaning and are there alternate spellings?

Not sure what it means, but I've heard it as "Mirrel"

I prefer Mirel (Polish Yiddish) or even Merle (German Yiddish) because Meryl looks like the non Jewish name - UNLESS you do it on purpose to use as a secular and as a religious name.

It is a pet form of Miriam. Although to some it would come from Judeo Spanish name Mirella, which is either a pet form of Miriam or http://www.behindthename.com/p.....rella

Mera is a family name of ours. Im guessing Meryl is from the same name. I will try an find out what it means.
And lately I have heard of a few Mira's.
