Merari 
Merari is a son of Levi and brother of Kohath and Gershon. His familiy are called the Merarites. The duties of the Merarites were to take care of the framework of the tabernacle: pillars and sockets of the tent as well as the surrounding court (Num 3:36-37).
The name Merari, like other Levites names, is probably of Egyptian origin and means Beloved. In Hebrew, however, it looks like it has to do with the verb (marar 1248) meaning be bitter, strengthen, strong (see the name Miriam). The name Merari in Hebrew means My Bitterness.
