Worldwide, Merv (Merv 
, מרב 
, 梅夫 
) is a rare primarily masculine, but very seldom feminine first name. The first name Merv is characteristic of Australia, where it is quite a rare boy's name, New Zealand, where it is a rare male name, and Israel, where it is a rare girly name. Measured by absolute frequency, it is commonest in Australia, the United States, and Egypt. Much less frequently, Merv is the last name as well as the forename.
Merv is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Merv Pumpkinhead , the fictional character in Neil Gaiman's comic book series The Sandman and Merv Kilbo , the character from 2009 film 'Dadnapped'.
