Melinna Origin and Meaning

Melinna is a feminine name with possible Greek origins, potentially derived from the Greek word 'meli' meaning 'honey' or as a variant of Melina. The doubled 'n' gives the name a distinctive spelling while maintaining its melodic pronunciation. With its soft sounds and flowing rhythm, Melinna has a gentle, elegant quality that appeals to parents seeking something both feminine and uncommon. While never achieving widespread popularity, the name has an ancient feel with modern appeal. Melinna may also be connected to the Greek name Melissa, which shares the honey-related etymology. The name evokes sweetness and warmth through both its sound and potential meaning, making it an appealing choice for parents drawn to names with classical roots but relative rarity in contemporary use.
