Comments and insights on the name Mellyn: | Edit

Mellyn is a Cornish name meaning "yellow-haired"

Sounds too close to 'melon' for me.
I didn't know "mellyn" means "yellow-haired", my daughter Mellyn has beautiful dark brown/black curly hair, so we don't fit the definition of mellyn !

Personal experiences with the name Mellyn: | Edit

I thought the name "Mellyn" was the most unique and beautiful name, after reading "The Mistress of Mellyn" by Victoria Holt. "Mellyn" was the name of a castle in the book. I named my first daughter Mellyn (mell - lynn)
We have had some laughs over the years when the school pa system announced "Melon" to the office ! She is a wonderful, beautiful daughter and the name fits her sooooo well.

Nicknames for Mellyn: | Edit

When my daughter was young, a neighbor boy could not pronounce her name correctly and called her "bewynn". I sometimes still call her by that ! Also, her young cousin calls her Aunt Winnie, even to this day.
