From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Merodach-baladan
     Merodach has given a son, (Isa. 39:1), "the hereditary chief of
     the Chaldeans, a small tribe at that time settled in the marshes
     at the mouth of the Euphrates, but in consequence of his
     conquest of Babylon afterwards, they became the dominant caste
     in Babylonia itself." One bearing this name sent ambassadors to


     Hezekiah (B.C. 721). He is also called Berodach-baladan (2 Kings
     20:12; 2 Chr. 20:31). (See {HEZEKIAH}.)
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:

  Merodach-baladan, bitter contrition, without judgment
