Mellon Origin and Meaning

The name Mellon is a girl's name meaning "from Meulan; descendant of Meallán".

It's too close to the fruit "melon" to make a good first name, but if there are Mellons on your family tree, why not put it in the middle? The English form of this surname is habitational, and at one time denoted someone from Meulan-en-Yvelines, a commune outside of Paris.

America's industrious Mellon family has Irish roots. Their variation of the surname means "descendant of Meallán" — Meallán is a given name that means "pleasant".
