  • Merian ist ein Basler Familienname. Man zählt zwei Familienzweige (ältere und jüngere Linie), die 1498 beziehungsweise 1549/1553 ins Basler Bürgerrecht aufgenommen wurden. Die Merian zeichneten sich aus als «Ratsherrengeschlecht» (zahlreiche Vertreter in den Räten, das heisst öffentlichen Organen der Schweizer Stadt Basel seit 1532) und als Künstlerfamilie während des Barocks. Der von Matthäus Merian begründete Frankfurter Zweig der Familie führte im 17. Jahrhundert einen der grössten europäischen Verlage. (de)

The younger Basel line includes a Frankfurt sub-branch founded by the engraver Matthäus Merian the Elder (1593-1650), whose descendants became artists during the Baroque period and ran what became one of Europe's largest publishers in the 17th century. Matthäus Merian's daughter was the naturalist and artist Maria Sibylla Merian. (en)
