I love this name so much! It's mythological, but with a Latin American and European feel to it. Wonderful. However, I think I might prefer the spelling Melaena.
Melaina is the most prettiest name ever. Usually used as for a girl, and is gorgeous. If you ever meet a Melaina you should be careful they are very easily hurt, when I say that I mean their feelings. And never let go of Melaina- she's totally worth it!

Gorgeous name. However, I unfortunately happen to know an overly sensitive and very flaky woman named this. Because of that witch, I don't see myself ever using this name.

Absolutely gorgeous. An alternative to "Melanie" with a Hispanic twist.

Melaina means 'black' in Greek. It became a nickname of the Greek goddess Demeter, when she was mourning for her daughter Persephone.
