They are made up and from legends. The first legends were from the Celts and they weren't called mermaids but silkies. A silkie was a seal that shed her skin once a year and became human for a night. If a human found the skin and kept it the silkie would stay human. One story tells about a man who fell in love with a silkie, kept her skin hidden, married her and had children. One evening she found her skin in a box and returned to the sea. It is not physically possible for people to be part human and part animal, so that is the main reason why there aren't real mermaids.
