Mercades is a feminine name that represents an alternative spelling of Mercedes. The name Mercedes comes from Spanish origins, derived from 'merced' meaning 'mercy' or 'grace.'

Originally associated with the Virgin Mary (María de las Mercedes), the name carries connotations of compassion and divine favor. While less common than the traditional spelling, Mercades maintains the same rich cultural heritage and sophisticated appeal. The name gained additional recognition through its association with luxury automobiles, contributing to its perception as elegant and prestigious.
