MEANING & HISTORY

What does Marcy mean?

Marcy is a diminutive of Marcia. Marcia is a feminine form in the Roman Marcius family, traditionally associated with Mars.

The y ending gives an affectionate name form. Marcy should not automatically be translated as mercy because the English words sound similar; the documented personal-name route is different.
