His name tells you. He is named after the god Mercury, the god of changes. That is why we have a word "mercurial" for something that changes all of the time. The metal Mercury is so named because it is a liquid and changes shape. Mercutio is shallow, witty, lively, fun, insulting and totally unable to take things seriously. He cannot even take it seriously when he is dying.
