Give Meredith a notebook that's unmistakably hers. Meredith's Notebook has her name in elegant script over a pink watercolor apple blossom cover.
Meredith comes from the Welsh name Maredudd, says Behind the Name, possibly from mawredd, “greatness, magnificence”, combined with iudd, “lord”. The Welsh forms were well used through the Middle Ages. Since the mid-1920s Meredith has been used more often for girls than for boys in English-speaking countries, though it is still a boy’s name in Wales.
Behind the Name lists Merideth and Meridith as English variant spellings, and Meredydd and Maredudd as Welsh forms. Merry makes a cheerful pet name.
Meredith Vieira was born on December 30, 1953, in Providence, Rhode Island, the youngest of five children of first-generation Portuguese American parents. Wikipedia says she reported for 60 Minutes, was the original moderator of The View from 1997 to 2006 and the first host of the daytime version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. From 2006 to 2011 she co-hosted NBC’s Today.
Meredith was a 1970s and 1980s favorite. US Social Security data has it at 179th in the 1970s and 153rd in the 1980s, when more than 19,200 American girls were named Meredith. Behind the Name says it ranked 469th for girls in the US in 2025.
One of America’s best-loved Christmas songs was written by a man named Meredith. Wikipedia says Meredith Willson, born in Mason City, Iowa, in 1902, wrote “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” in 1951. He also wrote the book, music and lyrics of the Broadway hit The Music Man (1957), with “Seventy-Six Trombones” and “Till There Was You”, and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1987.
Meredith’s Notebook works just as well for a teenager as for a grandmother. It’s 6" x 9", which fits in most bags, with 160 lined pages and no printed layout to work around. Use it as a diary, a school notebook, a planner or a place to collect quotes and ideas. A name on the cover turns an everyday notebook into something personal.
A plain notebook is useful. One with her name on it is a gift. Seeing “Meredith’s Notebook” on the cover tells Meredith it was chosen for her, not grabbed off a shelf, and that small touch is often what makes people keep a notebook going instead of abandoning it after a week.
How big is Meredith’s Notebook? 6" x 9", or about 15.2 x 22.9 cm. It’s a paperback with 160 lined pages inside.
