Mera was originally coined on December 1, 2018 by Hail, the original owner of the Tumblr blog lgbt-alchemy<ref>https://lgbt-alchemy.tumblr.com/post/180684480755/alloy-alignments-base-metals-genders</ref>. At the time it is was called known as idra and the plural form was hidrangea. On December 19, 2019 the alloy alignment system was reworked by Tired, the new owner of the blog<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20200224095559/https://lgbt-alchemy.tumblr.com/post/189762817895/metal-system-redone</ref>. In this rework the name of the term was change to mera/hydragea. It's unknown what the plural form of the new term would be.
The flag is based on the color of a thermometer. The symbol used is the alchemical symbol for Mercury. The symbol was also often used to represent those who are intersex. The reason mercury was chosen is because mercury very unlike other metals and when combined with them, will make unusual and beautiful alloys. It is unique in that it is a liquid in room temperature. These unique qualities represent the differences in each intersex person's experiences.
