ArchivesBlack honey :)
in reply to a message by Anneza
OK here's the strait dope on the black/honey controversy!
- The Greek word for black/dark is "melas" (male) and "melaina or melane" (female). This has generated the name "Melaina" and "Melane", which most definitely are the ancestors of Melanie.
- The Greek word for honey is "meli". It has generated several names, including Melina, Melinna, Melissa, Melita, Melite, Melitine and Melito.
I really enjoyed the theory about Scarlett vs Melanie symbolism, its really cool :) This interpretation really holds water! I personally prefer the beautiful and dignified Melanie to the cocky and obnoxious Scarlett, even though I generally dont care much for martyrs.
