Root

one who does "mey" — root not confirmed

The root itself we could not confirm. We will not invent one.

Suffix

-er — one who does.

Sound

3 syllables · flowing

Three syllables — a phrase. A name with time to say something about itself. It leaves on a held sound — the name does not break off, it dissolves. Held sounds dominate: it flows rather than strikes.
