What is the meaning of the name Mell ?

The baby name Mell is a Unisex name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced mel (IPA: /mɛl/).

Mell is English in Origin.

Mell is a compact, unisex given name used in English since the 19th century, most often as a nickname that became independent. It functions as a variant spelling of Mel and has appeared in Britain and the United States, borne by figures such as cartoonist Mell Lazarus and photographer Mell Kilpatrick. The doubled l stabilizes the clipped sound and distinguishes it visually from Mel.

Meaning depends on the longer form behind it. Possible sources include Melissa “honey-bee” (linked to Latin mel, “honey”), Melanie/Melania “dark, black” (Greek melas, melan-), Melinda (interpreted as “sweet” by folk association), and Carmela/Carmelo from Hebrew Karmel, “garden, vineyard.” On the masculine side it can shorten Melvin, Melville, or Melchior. Common variants and pet forms: Mel, Mellie, and Melly; related longer names include Melissa, Melanie, Melinda, Melina, Carmela, Carmelo, and Melvin.
