Name Root:
merx > mercāri > Mercŭrĭus
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Etruscan and Latin “merx > mercāri > mercŭrĭus,” meaning “who wore winged sandals.” Mercury was a major Roman God, being one of the Dii Consentes. He was the patron god of financial gain, commerce, eloquence (and thus poetry), messages, communication (including divination), travelers, boundaries, luck, trickery, and thieves; he was also the guide of souls to the underworld. Mercury was the son of Maia Maiestas and Jupiter in Roman mythology. The Old English form “Wōdnesdæg” and Middle English “Wednesdei” (day of Wodanaz), reflects a calque of the Latin “dies Mercurii” (day of Mercury).
