Likely of Latin origin, there are several possible meanings of Mecia. Some sources suggest it comes from Demetria, meaning "earth mother", while others believe it is a form of Marcia meaning "warlike". It could derive from the Latin mecus meaning "mouse" or it may have been adapted from the name Mercedes. Alternatively, it may be a feminine form of Matias or Mateus, or of the Roman name Mincius meaning "thin".
 
The actress Mecia Simson pronounces her name as MEE-shuh, which could like it to a short form of Michael or to a Persian name meaning "beautiful, pretty".
