Thinking about the name
Mercury
Latin origin
“Named after the Roman god of commerce, communication, and travel, Mercury carries mythology and celestial significance. The name evokes quicksilver energy, intelligence, and adaptability—qualities associated with the speedy messenger god. It's a bold, unconventional choice that blends classical learning with modern attitude.”
