Which מאיר?


אלהא דמאיר ענני
Which מאיר?


According to the מהרש"א
(עבודה זרה 18) It can’t refer to the
תנא ר' מאיר* because he was still
alive.

In his lifetime** he would not use
his own name attached to Hashem (אלהא).

The מהרש"א says “it refers to Hashem.
 מאיר is not a name. It is a word, אלהא דמאיר
 Hashem who lights up the world. (המאיר לארץ )  

Or, "אלהא דמאיר" Hashem who lit up for us 
during the dark days of the Greeks with
the נס of Chanukah”.
He shall bring  ניסים to save you.
