- Mercedes Meaning
- Means "mercies" (that is, the plural of mercy), from the Spanish title of the Virgin Mary, María de las Mercedes, meaning "Mary of Mercies". It is ultimately from the Latin word merces meaning "wages, reward", which in Vulgar Latin acquired the meaning "favour, pity". The name Mercedes originates in Spanish language. Merced means "mercy", thus the plural, Mercedes, is translated as "mercies". It refers to Maria de las Mercedes, or in English Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Mercy. However, more modern association with a German automobile brand comes to mind as well.
