Merge Field.
A placeholder in the main document that marks where a value is inserted from a source.
In a main document, merge fields are typically surrounded by special characters or delimiters that indicate where the merge field begins and ends. In Microsoft Word, for example, merge fields are often enclosed in double angle brackets, like this: «FieldName». These characters signal to the software that the text within should be replaced with data from a data source during the mail merge process. Other document processing applications may use different delimiters, but the concept remains the same.
When doing a mail merge, you need to take data from one source and put it into a document. A merge field relates to one particular item of data, such as a name, which will be in the merged document. The merge field will be placed in the appropriate place in the document, so in the case of the name, it could be after the "Dear" at the start of the letter. As each letter is printed a different name from the source data would be placed in that position, so that each letter is different as they are being sent to different individuals.
The placeholder in the main document to be replaced with data in a data source is typically referred to as a "mail merge field." This field acts as a marker for where the specific data from the data source will be inserted during the merging process.
