Do you know where the name of the car comes from? The man who created it named it after his daughter.
Who was
German.
See here (she was a pretty girl):

I'm not sure why you think
Mercedes would be strange on a non-Hispanic person, since it's not a name that's exclusive to Hispanic countries. As a person of
German origin and a Catholic, I think it'd work fine on a daughter of mine. :)
