From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Merab
      increase, the eldest of Saul's two daughters (1 Sam. 14:49). She
      was betrothed to David after his victory over Goliath, but does
      not seem to have entered heartily into this arrangement (18:2,
      17, 19). She was at length, however, married to Adriel of
      Abel-Meholah, a town in the Jordan valley, about 10 miles south
      of Bethshean, with whom the house of Saul maintained alliance.
      She had five sons, who were all put to death by the Gibeonites
      on the hill of Gibeah (2 Sam. 21:8).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Meribah
      quarrel or strife. (1.) One of the names given by Moses to the
      fountain in the desert of Sin, near Rephidim, which issued from
      the rock in Horeb, which he smote by the divine command,
      "because of the chiding of the children of Israel" (Ex. 17:1-7).
      It was also called Massah (q.v.). It was probably in Wady
      Feiran, near Mount Serbal.
     
         (2.) Another fountain having a similar origin in the desert of
      Zin, near to Kadesh (Num. 27:14). The two places are mentioned
      together in Deut. 33:8. Some think the one place is called by
      the two names (Ps. 81:7). In smiting the rock at this place
      Moses showed the same impatience as the people (Num. 20:10-12).
      This took place near the close of the wanderings in the desert
      (Num. 20:1-24; Deut. 32:51).
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Merab, he that fights or disputes
  

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Meribah, dispute; quarrel
