Melrose is a surname-turned-given-name taken from the wildly beautiful Scottish Borders, suitable for boys or girls. Rooted in English, Irish and Welsh, Melrose combines moel, meaning "bare," and rhos, meaning "moor," "heath," or "promontory," painting images of remote, breathtaking scenery. Melrose takes another meaning, "honey of roses," from the Latin mel rosae, making it the bee's knees for your little sweetheart.
