Melchior... a title resplendent with regality. In the kingdom of dreams, I'm sure it is borne by an exalted fantasy protagonist, a sorcerer whose presence commands both awe and reverence. A conjurer of arcane energies, a friend to dragons, bringing flowers back to life with every step. He weaves spells that illuminate the darkest corners of fantasy landscapes, a sovereign of brilliance amidst the shadows. Yet, hidden beneath his kind, righteous nature is a stormy spirit -- anger crackling like embers in the air. In that sense, Melchior is synonymous with the uncorrupted balance of the world and the tempestuous fervor which resides in all of us.

This would be a great name for a wizard or magician. When I was young I had a fairytale book, and this was the name of a sorcerer in one of the stories. That association has always stuck with me.

The character Melchior Gabor from the German play "Spring Awakening" has this name. He is a protagonist, and is German, which makes me think that this name has probably been in use to some degree in Germany in the past.

This name was common among the Schwenkfelder religious community which moved from Silesia to America in the early 18th century. It appears approximately a dozen times in the passenger logs of the ships which brought the immigrants over, and among the first few generations born in America as well.

This upon me can be argued whether the second part of the name stands namely for 'city'. What about the first part 'melchi' - îìëé then it makes mainly no doubt, for such a root M-L-K(H) is common for the majority of Semitic languages. Still the thing is that the second can be also interpreted as àåø - 'or' which literally means light. Hebrew word for 'king' is 'melech'/'melekh' - îìê, and 'my king' is formed by adding '-i' ending to the main word (melech). Thus, 'melchi'/'melkhi' + 'or' = melchior = îìëéàåø = 'my king is light'.
