Spanish girl names: they see her rollin’

When we mention Mercedes, you might be wondering: “What does a German car brand have to do with an article about Spanish girl names? Is my search engine broken? I'm looking for inspiration or a name idea, not four wheels.”

We at Lottili do appreciate a good motor (especially for baby hammocks), but here we're talking about the Spanish girl name. Mercedes is of Spanish origin and comes from the Latin word merces, which roughly means “wages” or “reward.” So in that sense, it's simply the name's shining meaning that matches the shiny exterior of Mercedes cars. And while we're on car analogies, the name rolls easily off the tongue, too, doesn't it?
