It's the United States spelling of the word 'metre' which is the base unit of measurement in the metric measurement system.
1 metre = 38.37 inches
'Meter' could also mean an instrument that is used for measuring. For example most houses have water meters to measure how much water they use per month.
There are a couple of other less common uses in music and poetry but they all contain the idea of measuring something.
