Mercedes
- I like this name because of the link to the car, Mercedes-Benz. They used to be my dead brothers favourite cars and he always dreamt of owning one.
- a french or spanish name. meaning "merciful". i think this name, even though it's been used before, is one of the most gorgeous girls names out there.
- I like the way this name sounds, plus it could have, Mercy, for a nickname which I think is very pretty.
- Mercedes Jericha: I think Mercedes is a beautiful name for a girl, and Jericha is a perfect combo of Jessica and Erica!
Mercedes comes from one of the names of the Virgin Mary, Maria de los Mercedes, meaning, literally "Mary of the Mercies." The English title is Our Lady of the Ransom, stemming from the fact that in Latin, mercedes originally meant "wages; ransom" though later on it came to mean "pity; favor." Mercedes is also the name of a car company (Mercedes-Benz). The original Mercedes was named after its founder, Emil Jellinek's daughter, Mercédès Adriana Manuela Ramona Jellinek.
