Has anyone figured out where the name Mercer comes from?

His father (he is British) and half sister were on last night. They were appalled. Hadn’t had much to do with him for years
Maggie said mom was AA. That may be where the “black lives matter” mentioned in British press yesterday came from

It is English, an old term that is derived from the same root as merchant but refers more to someone operating a retail business. I’ve heard that “grocer” is the best equivalent (I have a friend who had Mercer as a maiden name).
