Presente in tutto il centro nord, potrebbe derivare da toponimi come Merlino (LO) o dal nome medioevale italiano Merlino.
Translated:
Present in the whole central north, could derive from placenames like Merlino (LO) or from the medieval Italian name Merlino.
Thus either from placenames or meaning "son of Merlino".

It could also be a variant of Merlo that is a nickname coming from the name of a bird "the blackbird"
