Its from Ireland. Merritt is an Irish name. According to one genealogy book at the university of Texas library in Austin, the Merritt name was brought to Ireland from France where it meant "tenant farmer." It was spelled slightly different in France. The book went on to say that Marriott, Murray, Merritt, and a few other variations all come from the same France origin. My Merritt ancestors stated that they came over from Ireland. It was probably at least several hundred years after the first Merritts came from France to Ireland before the colonization of America began.
