There are many different opinions on what the name Mereem means. Hebrew sources say it means âbitterâ, others say it means âwished for childâ, and others say it means âOur Ladyâ. The only thing we know for certain is that it is the name of the mother of Prophet Isaa (alaihuma salam). For this reason regardless of the nameâs ancient origins, this name today describes the characteristics of Mary, mother of Jesus, such as her her purity, constant worship, and devotion to Allah.
