Strong's Lexicon Meres: Meres Original Word: מֶרֶס Word Origin: Derived from an uncertain origin, possibly of Persian influence. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name "Meres" as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and context of the Persian Empire. Usage: The name "Meres" appears in the context of the Persian Empire, specifically as one of the seven princes of Persia and Media who had access to the king's presence and held high positions in the kingdom. The name itself does not carry a specific meaning in Hebrew, as it is likely of foreign origin. Cultural and Historical Background: The mention of Meres occurs during the reign of King Ahasuerus (Xerxes I) of Persia, a period marked by the vast expanse and influence of the Persian Empire. The seven princes, including Meres, were part of the king's inner circle, advising on matters of state and governance. This reflects the hierarchical and bureaucratic nature of the Persian court, where such officials wielded significant power and influence.
