Meraioth -- a priestly name borne by ancestors of Zadok and a postexilic priestly house.
A proper masculine name meaning perhaps 'rebellions' or 'bitter ones,' borne by at least two priestly figures in the Hebrew Bible. The primary Meraioth is a descendant of Aaron in the high-priestly genealogy, grandfather of Ahitub and great-grandfather of Zadok (1 Chr 5:32-33; 6:37; Ezra 7:3). A second appears as son of Ahitub and father of Zadok in 1 Chronicles 9:11 and Nehemiah 11:11. The name also designates a priestly house in Nehemiah 12:15, possibly an error for Meremoth. The Septuagint renders it variously as Maraioth, Marmoth, and Mareioth.

1. Merayot — The proper name Meraioth (merayot), designating priestly individuals in Israel's genealogical and temple records. English consistently renders 'Merayot/Meraioth,' Spanish 'Meraiot/Merayot,' French 'Merajoth.' The name appears in the Aaronic high-priestly line in 1 Chronicles 6:6-7, 52 and Ezra 7:3, as an ancestor of Zadok; in 1 Chronicles 9:11 and Nehemiah 11:11 as part of the postexilic priestly leadership; and in Nehemiah 12:15 as head of a priestly house (possibly confused with Meremoth of Neh 12:3). 7×
