Merriam
Webster's business partner
Merriam appears most often as part of Merriam-Webster, the American dictionary publisher whose name has become nearly synonymous with authoritative English lexicography: I looked it up in Merriam-Webster.
The name honors George and Charles Merriam, who purchased rights to Noah Webster's dictionary after his death in 1843.
As a surname or place name, Merriam appears independently: Merriam, Kansas.
