Meacher Vad efternamn betyder
from a compound of Middle English meten ‘to measure (out) meet out repay’ + yare yarewe ‘thoroughly completely; promptly quickly’ perhaps for someone who met his obligations fully and promptly or (more likely) who required others to do so. The name appears to have originated in Stour Provost Dorset (see the 14th-century examples) where the variant Metyard is recorded in the 18th century. For the sense compare and contrast Stallabrass.
