British
Meaning:
Compassion
While other Puritan names have been dropping in the charts over the last few decades, Mercy has stayed as popular as ever. Maybe this is a good omen for your new addition! The graceful name stems from British roots and alludes to a little one filled with compassion and kindness. The feminine title has the typically girly -y ending that gives it a lyrical sound, just like in the popular 00s song of the same name.
