Strengthen baby’s dark side with the name Melanee. This feminine name is a twist on Melanie, which in turn comes from the Greek word melania. It translates to “darkness” or “blackness,” which can be interpreted in various ways. If dark hair and eyes run in baby’s family, Melanee can always help them embrace their inherited traits. If your little one grows up to enjoy dark, spooky things, from ghost stories to classic mysteries, Melanee can be a great fit for them.
