Melina - God’s Gift. Soft in nature.
I work as a nurse, and the image I get when I hear 'Melina' is the medical definition of the same (differently spelt) name:
Melena/Melaena
The passage of black, tarry stools composed largely of blood that has been acted on by gastric juices, indicative of bleeding in the upper digestive tract.
This name means "sweet honey" in Latin. :)
Melina is derived from the diminuative of Carmela being Carmelina and to which the prefix maybe eventually removed to make Melina.
I've been told that it means 'canary-yellow colored', but 'honey' is a more accurate translation.
