Melorah is English in Origin.

Melorah is a modern feminine given name, most likely a spelling variant of Melora, which in turn streamlines the Latin word Meliora. In Classical Latin, meliora is the neuter plural of melior “better,” commonly taken to mean “better things” or “ever better.” As a given name, Melorah thus conveys aspiration, self-improvement, and hopeful progress.

Meliora appears sporadically as a personal name in early modern England and resurfaced with periodic revivals of classical and virtue-inspired names in the Anglophone world. Melora gained modest modern visibility, and the -h ending in Melorah - akin to Norah or Sarah - adds a softer, ornamental finish. Variants and related forms include Melora, Meliora, and Mellora; short forms and nicknames include Mel, Mellie, Lora, and Lori. While no established masculine counterpart exists, the Latin root melior remains familiar from mottos and phrases emphasizing continual betterment.
