Mercey Origin and Meaning

The name Mercey is a girl's name.

Mercey is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Mercy, derived from the English word meaning 'compassion' or 'forgiveness.' This alternative spelling gives the traditional virtue name a more contemporary feel while maintaining its meaningful associations. As a virtue name, it carries strong religious connotations, particularly within Christianity where mercy is considered a divine attribute. While the traditional spelling has a long history of usage, particularly among Puritans and religious families, the Mercey variant is much rarer. The name appeals to parents seeking names with positive character traits and spiritual significance, while the modified spelling adds a touch of uniqueness.
