Melros is Scottish in Origin.

Melros is a streamlined modern variant of Melrose, a Scottish place‑name and surname. The toponym traces to Brittonic/Welsh elements moel “bare hill” + rhos “moor, heath,” giving the sense “bare moor” or “heath by the bare hill.” The Borders town of Melrose and its famed 12th‑century abbey fixed the name in medieval records; it later passed into surnames and, by the late 19th–20th centuries, occasional given‑name use.

As a given name, Melros reads unisex, gaining a gentle nature vibe from the Rose sound even though its roots aren’t botanical. Variants and related forms include Melrose, Melross, and Melroes; diminutives or nicknames Mel, Ross, Roe, and Rosie (especially for girls) are common choices. Usage remains rare in English‑speaking countries, preserving a distinctive, place‑anchored character. An unrelated echo exists in Portuguese melro “blackbird” (plural melros), sometimes noted by Lusophone families, though the Scottish etymology is primary.
