The midrash mentions that there was once a fierce tribe of warriors known as the Meisim or Meitim, who would loudly proclaim their fierceness and fight vigorously. However, this peculiar band of warriors would just collapse and give up the fight at the end, allowing the enemy to run roughshod over them. Thus, they were known as “the meisim” or “the meitim”.
Today the name has been Anglicized to “the Mets”.
