Pard is a paard, a horse, like a nijlpaard (Nile horse aka hippopotamus). I still go to my Dutch butcher in Amsterdam every other week and buy paardevlees (horse meat). Leo is also not the current or past Dutch spelling for lion, which is "leeuw" but it's pronounced close to "leo" so "leeuwpaard" would be transcribed by an Englishman as leopard.

Meer in Dutch means "more." It might also be related to a verb for looking, so they may be "starecats." In English the word cat is not usually spelled with a k, but a c. Even in olden times. The fact that the Dutch have a different word for it now does not exclude the possibility that they used to call it a "meerkat" and that was then adapted by the English before the Dutch renamed it.

Also, keep in mind that there were no spelling conventions in the age of exploration in the Netherlands or England.

Ugh, I guess I will look up the etymology.
