What is the meaning of the name merkury ?

merkury is Latin in Origin.

Merkury is a modern, stylized form of Mercury, from Latin Mercurius, likely derived from merx/merces "merchandise, wages." In Roman myth, Mercury was the fleet-footed messenger and patron of trade, travelers, and clever speech, so the name carries meanings of commerce, swiftness, and ingenuity. The spelling overlaps with Polish Merkury, the standard name of the planet and the Roman god in that language.

As a given name, it is rare in the Anglophone world but has deep roots: Mercurius was the birth name of Pope John II (6th century), and Saint Mercurius is venerated in Eastern Christianity; related forms appear across Slavic traditions (Merkuriy/Merkurii). Contemporary parents gravitate to Merkury within the celestial-name trend alongside Orion, Nova, and Jupiter, often using it as a gender-neutral choice. International variants include Mercury (English), Mercure (French), Mercurio (Italian/Spanish), Merkur (German/Scandinavian), and Mercuriu (Romanian).
