You might wonder where the word Mermaid comes from, it is believed to have derived from an Old English word ‘mere’, meaning lake or sea, and was coupled with the word ‘maid’, as you’d expect meaning woman.

Half Woman/Half Fish

Mermaids are almost always depicted as women, who are human on the top half, and fish on the bottom half. You have to go back to ca. 1,000 BC for the first reference to a mermaid type creature, in the form of a Goddess – Atargatis.

Myths

Whilst there are many myths and folklore surrounding the mermaid around the globe, a common theme amongst them is romantic love and relationships. This is perhaps not as surprising as you imagine, when you consider Mermaids and the association of water as an element.
