Melia

The name Melia is derived from the Greek word 'meli', meaning 'honey'. It is a feminine form of the Greek name Melios, which was derived from the same root.

In Greek mythology, the nymph Melia was one of the Oceanids, the three thousand daughters of the Titans Oceanus and Tethys. She was associated with the ash tree and its fruit, which was once commonly used to make a honey-like syrup.

The name Melia has been used as a given name in various forms in several European cultures, including Greek, Italian, and Spanish. It is a relatively uncommon name in English-speaking countries, but it has been growing in popularity in recent years.

The name Melia is often associated with sweetness, gentleness, and natural beauty, due to its connection with honey and the nymph from Greek mythology.
