It is irregular or improper writing of the English word Mermaid siren means and which in turn has its origin from the French words mer ( mar ) and maid ( which is a contraction of the word mademoiselle for the English ) The sea girl. A mermaid is a legendary aquatic creature with the head and upper body of a human female and a fish tail. It is a mythical character that is very popular in all cultures of the world.
MER-may is incorrectly written, and should be written as "MERMAID" being its meaning:
Loan vocabulary, anglicism. Means, in fact, be hybrid between women and animals, both marine bird. Although the general trend ( and vulgar ) It is thought that the SIRENS are beings upper half in anthropomorphic form of woman and the Cantle bottom, true sirens of the " Odyssey " of Homer, Ovando with their sorcerers songs Ulysses, tied to the mast of his ship, were, in fact, birds; what otherwise may have the expression " song of sirens "? Perhaps " " sing? the fish, or are the birds singing? Therefore means Mermaid, and this is to be half woman, half Songbird.
