History and Origin
English: 1 From the vocabulary word denoting the quality of magnanimity, and in particular God's forgiveness of sinners, a quality much prized in Christian tradition. The word is derived from Latin mercēs, which originally meant ‘wages’ or ‘reward’ (see Mercedes). The name was much favoured by the Puritans; Mercy is the companion of Christiana in the second part of John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress (1684). Subsequently, it fell out of use as a given name.
2 In modern use, this is often an Anglicized form of Mercedes.
