Two things: First, Mercury was the ancient god of speed and agility in Greece mythology. Second, for a long time, the metal mercury was called 'Quicksilver'. Quick=Mercury, and the name of the material changed.
By the way, the symbol for the element, mercury, is Hg, which comes from the Greek "Hydrargyros", which means "water-silver", which wasn't a bad name, at all. Silver was called, "Argyros", so in turn, its symbol is 'Ag'.
