606.0. "MELANIE-MEANING?" by TRNPRC::PERKINS () Fri Nov 09 1990 10:20

    
    
    
    Just wondering if anyone knows what Melanie means.
    
    I've seen the name listed, but no explanation.
    
    Also, here's a few names I like. What do you think?
    
    Girls                	Boys
    Jenaya			Max
    Claudia			Tyler (Ty?)
    Tia				Joel
    Bria			Kyle
    Shawntelle			Chad
    Alex			Alex
    
    
    I like REALLY different names. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    
    I love Max. I think it sounds so masculine.
    
    Thanks for the input!

    I think it means "black" or "dark".

	I have a friend named Melanie who had a baby boy about 6 months
        ago.  She also loves the name Max.  So, they named their baby
	John Maxwell (first & middle names), and they call him Max for short.
	I thought that was a really great idea.

    Melanie comes from the Greek word 'melanos', which means
    'black colour'.  The female name in modern Greek has bacome
    Melina.
    The version 'Melanie' is rather French.  I also see 'Melania' in
    Italian, 'Melany' or 'Mellany' in English.
    Melanie's are celebrated on ... 31 December !
