Melesio

A rare name from Greek mythology, Melisseus derives from melissa meaning "bee" or "honey", and as such this name has the whimsical, but occupational, meaning of "bee-keeper" or more literally, "bee-man". It is borne by the father of the nymphs Adrasteia, Ida, Melissa, and Althea. 
 
The name likely emerged in reference to the fermented honey given by the Goddesses to the ancient kings of Crete who consorted and consulted with them. 
 
Pronounced as MUH-liss-ee-uhs in English, but more like MEH-lih-sefs in Greek, it could be an intriguing choice, perhaps, as a middle name, to honor a bee-keeper or a Melissa?

Melisseus

Melquiades

The Greek form of Menelaus, and the name of a central character in Homer's Iliad. Menelaos was a king of Sparta and the husband of Helen, and he started the Trojan War when she was taken from him by Paris. While both Menelaus and Menelaos remain obscure outside of Greece, Menelaos is a well-used name in its native country.

The name of a Greek hero who played a central role in Homer's Iliad. Menelaus was a king of Sparta and the husband of Helen, and he started the Trojan War when she was taken from him by Paris.

The name of a Biblical patriarch who lived to be 969 years old, Methuselah is (understandably, perhaps) a rare choice, though it has seen some usage in Kenya, Nigeria, and the Philippines. The "meth" beginning may well put many parents off, though his spiritual significance as the grandfather of Noah may make others reconsider.
 
A name that has become a synonym and symbol of longevity, the recent appeal of once rare Biblical names has led to Methuselah appearing in the US stats for the first time in 2024 when it was given to five boys.
