Mel sparkles like the first morning sun over a Mumbai chai stall. It’s warm and inviting, with a dash of cardamom cheer in every syllable and as much charm as a Bollywood wink. This unisex jewel comes from the Greek word for honey and also serves as a peppy short form of names like Melanie or Melvin. With its breezy one-syllable punch—MEL (/mɛl/)—it’s easy to call across a playground or sign a tiny masterpiece. Climbing steadily in US ranks, Mel dances through life with playful confidence, inspiring little ones to embrace both melody and momentum.
