Meriwether Lewis was named after his mother's family, the Meriwethers. His mother, Lucy Meriwether, married William Lewis, and they named their son after her family as a way to honor their lineage.

It is Irish. Lewis is a common last name in Ireland. People with this last name will usually be Irish.
Meriwether was his mother's maiden name, which is a somewhat common practice at the time, but it was usually carried out with a much less cruel name. None the less, if he didn't have such a cool name, kids wouldn't have as easy of a time remembering him.
