Meed
meed
Origin:British
Meaning:Meadow
Meed is a gender-neutral name of British origin, most commonly derived from the last name Mead. Though some may associate this name with someone who sold honey-flavored alcoholic drinks, this name is more often inspired by nature with the meaning "meadow." Meadows, with their beautiful wildflowers and scenic serenity, inspire dreamy images of days spent with baby exploring nature and the countryside! Wildflower meadows have grown (excuse the pun!) in popularity in recent years, owing to the environmental benefits for bees, flowers and eco-systems as a whole. An eco-conscious parent with a passion for promoting green practices may appreciate Meed as a symbolic choice for baby. Equally, cowboy or cowgirl fans will adore this pastoral name that stirs images of expansive ranches and rolling fields.
