Melina Origin and Meaning

The name Melina is a girl's name of Greek origin meaning "little honey".

This traditional Greek name feels somewhat more distinctive than Melissa, though after a recent upward blip in popularity, it seems to be sliding back down -- which may not be a bad thing for parents looking for a name that both fits in and stands out.
