Why the Name Mercurius?
The name "Mercurius" is derived from the Latin term for Greek/Egyptian god "Mercurius ter Maximus" worshiped for (among other things) Alchemy. What we are doing is taking a base product that is very plentiful and refining it to something of great value similar to a famous aim of alchemy: to turn lead into gold.
