Get ready for a little one who’s about to light up your life. The boy’s name Myer has a number of origins, the oldest dated being Hebrew and Latin. Meaning “one who shines” or “giving light,” Myer is a German take on the Hebrew Meir that destines baby to dazzle all those around them. Myer also has ties to an occupational last name from the Old French mire, translating to “doctor,” tracing back to Latin. This particular spelling is not so commonly used, in comparison to the similar Meyer, giving baby a step up from their counterparts. Your little sunray might have you up before the break of dawn, but at least you can enjoy the beauty of the new day together.
