Melborn is a rare given name derived from an English surname and place-name. It represents a simplified spelling of Melbourne/Melborne/Melburn, surnames that trace back to Old English mylen 'mill' + burna 'stream', yielding the meaning 'mill stream'. The Australian metropolis Melbourne, named for British prime minister Viscount Melbourne, further popularized the root.
