Mert is of Turkish origin, derived from the Turkic element 'mert,' which means 'poetry.' It's often used as a boy's name but can also be given to girls in some cultures. The name Mert is composed of three letters and pronounced /mɛrt/. It's notably popular in Turkey and among communities with Turkish heritage worldwide.
"The name Mert experienced a significant surge in popularity from the late 1990s onwards, with a notable spike occurring between 1997 and 2008, during which time the number of annual births increased dramatically from 8 to 23. However, it appears that Mert was quite uncommon for much of the 20th century, with fewer than 6 births recorded per year between 1915 and 1993."
