There's a few that mean God/Goddess: Astrid, Celine, Isha, Rhiannon for girls and Ahmed, Godfrey, Eli, and Deus for boys.
The closest I could find for mermaid/merman was "of the sea" and those are: Irvette, Marilla, Marina, Marissa, Nereida, Nerine, Rosemary, and Sagana for the girls and Delmar, Irving, Marino, Marvin, Orman and Seward for the boys.
Hope this helps!

Mermaids, mermen (& other sea or water creatures)--Merrymaid, Maighdean na Mhara,Selkie,Silky,Shoney,Inna Pic Winna
gods/goddesses--well, there are thousands from different myths. The Saxon names Godda & Godgifu (as in Godiva), have the root 'god'. Fairy names like boggan and boggart probably also contain a root word meaning 'god'.
