Merced means mercy. But the term "Su merced" was used many years ago to refer very politely to a person.
But mercedes comes from the name of a Virgin. Virgen the las mercedes.

Mercies. It comes from the title of the Virgin Mary, MarÃa de las Mercedes, meaning "Mary of Mercies."

"Merced" can be translated as "mercy" or "grace". Therefore, a literal translation would be something like "mercies". It's a very nice name.
