Spanish girls' names - they see her rollin'

When we talk about Mercedes, you might ask yourself: "What does a German car brand have to do with an article about Spanish girls' names? Is my search engine broken? I'm looking for inspiration or need a name suggestion, not four wheels."

Although we at Lottili good motors (especially for Baby Hammock ), we are talking here about the Spanish maiden name. The name Mercedes is of Spanish origin and derives from the Latin word merces which means 'reward' or 'recompense'. So in this sense, it is only the shiny meaning that corresponds to the shiny exterior of Mercedes cars. And while we're on the subject of car analogies, the name rolls off the tongue easily, doesn't it?
