Maxwell: According to Behind the Name, this personal name derives from an Old English phrase meaning \"stream of Maccus\". In addition, the compound derived CGS unit, the maxwell, abbreviated as Mx, is the unit for the magnetic flux. The unit was previously called a line. The unit name honors James Clerk Maxwell, who presented the unified theory of electromagnetism. Anderson: \"Son of Andrew,\" which in turn derives from Greek \u03B1\u03BD\u03B4\u03C1\u03BF\u03C2 (andros), \"of a man.\" Thus, andros-son is \"Son of Man,\" a term applied to Christ. Mercer: According to Behind the Name's surname section, this was originally an occupational name for a trader, from Old French mercier. Also cognate with \"mercy,\" the leniency or compassion shown by one person to another. Mercer's time-travelling abilities are somewhat unstable; he is able to appear at a particular time period through force of will, but at least initially he was \"unstuck in time\", leading to him bouncing to various points in the future. His insight into future events led directly to his founding the \u00C6on Society. He continues to lead the society from the shadows, hopping between eras."@en . . "Maxwell Anderson Mercer"@en . . .
