Interestingly “meridional” could mean south in some languages because it was towards the equator… which is funny when it’s used south of the equator.

  So again, even more literally, it's "of the midday, of the noon", so "toward the noon, noonwards". And in the northern hemisphere, the noon happens in the direction of the equator, so southward.
