Meli

What do monikers like Melissa, Melia, and Amelia have in common? They all showcase the beauty of the feminine name Meli. In Greek, the word meli means “honey,” and this is where Meli’s story likely begins. If you’ve wondered how Meli and Melissa are connected, you’ll find the answer in their definitions: one name means “honey,” and the other “bee!” Perhaps Meli stems from amal, an Old German element with a starring role in Amelia, Amalia, and other similar titles. Translating to “vigorous” or “unceasing,” amal lends Meli its busy-bee energy. From playtime to bedtime, you’ll have to move at speed to keep up with little Meli.
