The proud and noble English surname of Merritt was washed upon Britain's shores amidst the tidal wave of Immigration following the Norman Invasion of 1066 A.D. It was bestowed in reference to their previous place of residence- in Marriot, Normandy, France. They had held a family seat in Leicestershire from very early times, and were granted lands for their courage and valour in the Battle of Hastings.
