The name of the city seems to be an Urdu term, but Meerjapur is a Hindi term(MEER=Sea/Saagar/Sindhu, Ja=Daughter/putri,[Means Laxmi,the godess of wealth] and Pur=Home/Nagar) Hence, the name of the city means "House of Laxmi".During the Moughal period, the name got an Urdu accent and was mis-spelt as Mirzapur.
