History & Origin
Mercades reworks the spelling of Mercedes, a Spanish devotional name from Maria de las Mercedes, 'Mary of Mercies'. The a-for-e spelling is a personalized American touch on a name most people know through its Spanish form.
It stayed rare, cresting in the late nineteen-nineties at just a few dozen girls a year; it reads as a period respelling of a graceful heritage name and carries the same 'mercies' sense as Mercedes.
