The Aphrodite connection...An classical name of the Goddess Aphridite is also *Melinaia* (honey-like) as well as Melinna, which unlike the more popular Melina is pronounced MELinna.

Definitely Pamela but also ancient Greek names Melia (me-LEE-a) and Melita (me-LEE-ta) or Melite (me-LEE-tee), from Greek "meli", "honey"."Until the day that an ancient inscription will be found with the name "Alexandrovski" (or "Alexandrev" or "Alexandrov") written on it instead of "Alexander", true Macedonia and true Macedonians will remain Greek, as they always were."
