Etymology
No etymology is suggested.
Nibley has suggested EGYPTIAN PN (of princes) mry.itn, “beloved of Aton,” and mry.imn, “beloved of Amon” (LID, 29). But, despite the problem of using EGYPTIAN to explain a JAREDITE PN, it would be difficult to explain how a Lehite could have a name based on a non-ISRAELITE theophoric element.
