Mercilene Origin and Meaning

The name Mercilene is a girl's name meaning "compassionate + little warrior".

Used occasionally in Brazil, South Africa, Haiti, Kenya, and the Philippines, Mercilene is a rare but familiar sounding choice, inspired by the virtuous Mercy and the sweet but strong Marceline. Also spelled as Mercylene, Mercyline, and Merciline, it could be viewed as a compound name, blending Marceline and Mercy to make a name that means "compassionate little warrior". Alternatively, it could be a variation on Mercy, made by adding the popular feminine suffix -lene / -line to the end of it.
