Mercy

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 Latin roots and means “reward” or “wages.” Mercy’s religious use alludes to a little one filled with compassion and kindness, forever reminded of God’s forgiveness. The feminine title has a lyrical sound, just like the many songs that include the name in their title.
