Melita is also the latinized form of the ancient Greek given name Μελίτη (Melite). It is probably derived from ancient Greek μέλῐτος (melitos), which is the genitive of μέλι (meli) meaning "honey". Also compare the names Meliton and Melitta in the main database.
Melite (or Melita) was the name of several figures from Greek mythology. [noted -ed]
