The Meredith surname comes from the Welsh personal name Meredydd or Maredudd. The Old Welsh form of the name is Morgetiud; experts state that the first portion of this name may mean pomp or splendor, while the second portion is "udd," which means "lord."
I've seen many different 'meanings' to the name, but this one is new.

Guessing the actual coat of arms is the blue field with the yellow lion, rather than the other parts, otherwise it's very similar to Feeny's arms.

I did this a long time ago. It's been sitting on my desktop. Unfortunately, only the eldest son can continue to bear the coat of arms. I read somewhere. Of course, many of these are similar and I have little confidence they are true family crests. In addition, there are very few families who had family crests created in the past. I think a lot of this is a result of a resurgence of interest in the subject. I think every 20 years or so, I get offers for genealogy reports. I do think it's pretty interesting even though I have little faith in their accuracy. As a student of History (I majored in History in undergraduate and graduate school) I could probably track down my official genealogy with some research and travel(since not all records are online yet). My sister and aunt have done a lot of research into our genealogy as far back as the 15th Century but I doubt a lot of their findings because they've used a lot of these services' free trials and stacked them with others to go back further. I think a lot of them throw you a "we've found a connection with royalty" or something like that to hook you then they start charging money. Looks like they changed the anchor a little bit since I did it last. I didn't pay any money. The National Geographic DNA tracker thing would've been cool though. genographic.nationalgeographic.com/
