MERMANAUT

A Mermanaut is an explorer of the aquatic realm. This exploration may take the form of spiritual, physical, or mental exploration of the planets vast oceans, and the worlds, secrets, and treasures they contain.

The word is a compound of mere, mermaid/man, and naut.

Mere is the Old English word for sea. With the addition of “ma” (merma) both genders of mermaid and merman are represented. Finally, the term "naut" is from nautes (greek: ναύτης), meaning sailor.

Meryan

A kind, generous, loving, loyal, and appreciative girl. Meryan is one of the most supportive friends I've ever met. I could tell her anything and she won't say a thing to anyone! Meryan is the best listener when you want her to be. Even through the most painful of times, she will get back up and walk on. People can say all the shit they want and have instant karma for messing with the wrong girl! She's very considerate about everything. Meryan is so perfect that she's a person everyone would wanna be. Im so grateful for a friend like her.
Zoey: "I wish I was Meryan, she's so cool!"
Jenna: "Shut up, even if you were her you wouldn't be able to keep up with her personality," "she's to good for you."
