Mercutio's name is related to the word "mercurial," meaning "having an unpredictable and fast-changing mood," a fairly accurate description of Mercutio's personality. The word "mercurial" itself derives from the Roman messenger god Mercury, whose namesakes include the fast-moving planet Mercury; and the metal mercury, a liquid at room temperature.

mercutio's name is related to the word mercurial meaning " having an unpredictable and fast changing mood" which is a accurate deception of merctio personality.
the word mercurial it self comes from the roman god mercury whose name sakes include the fast moving planet mercury and the metal mercury.

I'm guessing the root is from "mercury" meaning a metal that is malleable and changeable....so I'd say Mercutio means fickle or ever-changing. Could also root from Mercury the planet.

Why did you waste your time writing this? Google Mercutio and find out. It's so incredibly easy to do this. No wonder the U.S. education system is going down the tubes if you can't figure out how to do something so simple. Geeze.
