Around the globe, Merita (Merita , เมริตา , Меріта ) is quite a common feminine first name. The first name Merita is characteristic of Southern Europe, particularly Albania, where it is quite a common predominantly feminine, but very seldom masculine name, Greece, where it is quite a rare girly name, and Montenegro. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in Albania, the United States, and Indonesia. Much less frequently, Merita is the last name as well as the forename.
