Encountered it in George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire (Melantha Stark née Blackwood) and it's so alluring and mysterious! Both dark (melas-) and honey (meli-) are pretty affixes to anthos.

I love how much history Melantha has. It sounds much more interesting then Melanie, plus, how often do you meet girls and women named Melantha?

Sounds like a body part, but the scientific term, or a disease.

It could also come from the Greek μελι (meli) which means honey. Then it could mean "honey flower." I love -antha names, especially this one.

I think Melantha is smooth and beautiful. My mother, on the other hand, is convinced that it sounds like the name of a body part.

The name is not English, it is Greek, very ancient. It consists of 'mel', meaning 'dark', and 'antha', meaning 'flower': thus Melantha means 'Dark Flower'. This has two references: either to a girl with dark hair and eyes, OR to a girl with a dark side to her personality.

Melantha means dark flower from the Greek words melaina (dark) and anthos (flower). Very pretty name.

"Melantha" might be a variant of the Greek name "Melantho" (accent on the "a") which appears in the epic poem "The Odyssey," and its masculine form, "Melanthios," which also appears here.

That's a shame because I think the meaning of this name could mean "sweet flower" or "dark flower" because the 'Mel' part of Melantha could be related to honey like "Melissa" means bee in Greek or it could be related to 'dark' like Melanie.
