The name Mercan is a girl's name of Turkish origin meaning "coral".

A rising choice in Turkey, Mercan is derived from the Arabic <em>marjān</em> meaning "coral", in turn connecting the name to nature, to the ocean, and to a reddish-pinkish-orangey hue. Appearing in the Turkish Top 100 for the first time in 2024, Mercan is a cognate of the Persian and Kazakh names Marjan, Marzahn, and Marjane.
