About Meridian
Meridian, a Latin name, denotes both "midday" and "pinnacle." In geography, a meridian is a line encircling the Earth, extending from the North to South Poles. This association with midday has bestowed upon the term the metaphorical significance of "culmination" or "peak."
The English word "meridian" originates directly from the Latin "meridianus," meaning "of midday" or "southerly." The name's unisex appeal and contemporary affinity with nature and virtue make it a distinctive choice. Its use as a character name in Alice Walker's novel "Meridian" further underscores its literary and cultural significance.
