The Meriwether name is English, probably Saxon. Some claim Welsh.

Here is Rev. E. A. Merryweather's take on the family history:

Arms. Or three martlets, on a chief azure a sun in splendor ppr.

Crest: An arm in armor embowed, in the hand a sword argent, hilt and pommel or, entwined with a serpent vert.

Motto: Vi et Consilio.
