Meli is of Greek origin and means 'honey.' It is often used as a nickname for Melina or Melanie, but it can also stand alone as a given name. In some cases, Meli may be derived from the Latin word 'mel', which also means 'honey.' This name has gained popularity in recent years due to its unique sound and sweet meaning.
"Meli has seen a steady increase in popularity since the late 2000s, with over twice as many babies named Meli born in 2023 (13) compared to its highest point earlier that decade (5 in 2007). However, there's been a recent decline; after peaking at 9 births in both 2014 and 2016, it dropped back down to 6 in 2015. The overall total for the period 1986-2023 is 161 births."
