Melma is of Arabic origin and means "dream". It is often used as a feminine given name, but can also be used for males. The name has gained popularity in recent years due to its unique sound and meaning. In the English-speaking world, it may sometimes be spelled Melama or Malma to better accommodate pronunciation.
Melma appears to have had a fluctuating popularity between the years 1921 and 1930, with peaks in the late twenties and early thirties. However, it seems that after 1930, this name started to decline in popularity as no further births were recorded for Melma.
