Mela is a girl’s name of Greek origin. This name translates to “black” or “dark,” ideal for those that wish to imbue baby’s name with a little edge. It can be read as a diminutive of names like Amelia, Pamela, or even Carmela, but Mela stands firmly on its own as a given name. It brings to mind vibes of Gothic romance and decadence.
