mercury
🌡️ From Roman god Mercurius, fast messenger; quicksilver planet-metal named for him
Mercurio comes from Latin Mercurius, the swift messenger god. The liquid metal moves quickly and slips around, so it was named after him. The planet Mercury, the closest to the sun and fastest-orbiting, shares the same name.
