The term 'Meso-Americans' refers to the peoples of the lands from central and southern Mexico; down through Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua; and into Costa Rica. The term somewhat overlaps geographically with the designation Central America. But Panama is included, and Mexico excluded, as Central American countries. The first known use of the term was by Paul Kirchhoff. For the German ethnologist identified a unique area of high-achieving civilizations that shared astronomical interests, linguistic traits, and maize cultivation. He therefore wanted to differentiate the area's common culture from cultural developments to the north and to the south. And so he looked to the classical Greek 'mesos', for a term that would describe this 'middle' land that was 'intermediate' to, and distinct from, all else in the area.
Meso is from the Greek for between, potamia is from the Greek for rivers. Mesopotamia means between the rivers.
It was located in the basins of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Meso = between, potamos = rever in Greek.
Unknowable. However, modern scholarship suggests the number could be as high as 50 million. This includes Meso-America, with the huge metropolitan areas of the Valley of Mexico, where citiy-states of 250,000 were not uncommon.

The Meso-Americans were indeed lucky. For they managed to keep their civilizations going for more than 600 years. They organized their civilizations in such a way as to win the respect of the peoples of their time, and of subsequent times. For example, the agricultural, architectural, artistic, astronomical and organizational achievements of the Maya astound the peoples of today just as much as the peoples of their day.

Meso compounds in organic chemistry can be identified by their symmetry. A meso compound will have a plane of symmetry that divides the molecule into two identical halves. This symmetry distinguishes meso compounds from other stereoisomers.
