From the vocabulary word denoting the quality of magnanimity, and in particular God's forgiveness of sinners, a quality much prized in Christian tradition. The word is derived from Latin merces, which originally meant ‘wage’ or ‘reward’ ( see Mercedes ). The name was in regular use from the mid 15th century onwards and was favoured by the Puritans; Mercy is the companion of Christiana in the second part of John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress ( 1684 ). Subsequently, it fell out of use as a given name. In modern use, this is often an Anglicized form of Mercedes.
