Melcher
Origin:Swiss
Meaning:King of light, my king is light; God is king, God is light; City of the king
Melcher is a Swiss and Swedish name for boys with a very esteemed air. In Swedish, it's a variation of Melker, which stems from Melchior, and in Romansh, a Swiss language, Melcher takes direct inspiration from Melchior. This mysterious moniker has two possible origins, the first being the Hebrew Melki’or, which lends the meanings "king of light," "my king is light," "God is king," and "God is light." Adding to its kingly vibe is its potential Old Persian root melk quart, which translates to "city of the king." For those drawn to Melcher's religious undertones, Melchior is one of the names assigned to one of the Three Wise Men, or Magi, who visited the newborn Jesus Christ. Melcher has a sweetness to it that lightens its royal crown and will age gracefully alongside your kiddo as they establish their own kingdom.
