"Traditional Spanish name"
The name Merced is commonly a unisex name from the "Spanish" origin.
Merced is a Spanish given name taken from the Spanish word merced, meaning mercy, favor or grace, which derives from Latin merces. The same word underlies the title Nuestra Senora de la Merced, and the name has a long history of use in Spanish-speaking countries. Its appearance in United States birth records from 1905 fits that Spanish-language background rather than a modern coinage.
