Melvon is a variant of the masculine name Melvin, which has Scottish, French Norman, and Irish roots. Melvin was historically a last name and a variant of Melville, which the Normans brought to Scotland. Melville is a geographical name derived from multiple locations in Normandy called Malleville, which means “bad town” and “the bad settlement.” Despite this negative meaning, Herman Melville surely made the family proud in the 19th century when he published his masterpiece, Moby Dick. An alternative origin for the name Melvon is that it stems from the Irish last name Ó Maoil Mhín, which translates to “descendant of the gentle chieftain.” Melvon is an excellent choice with a rich heritage, the perfect name for an adorable new addition.
