Meliza
Meaning of Meliza
The feminine name Meliza is etymologically derived from the ancient Greek lexeme Melissa—itself rooted in meli, meaning “honey”—and functions as a morphological variant that preserves the semantic fields of sweetness and the industrious attributes traditionally associated with the honeybee. In contemporary English usage it is phonetically rendered as /mɛˈliːzə/ and, according to California Department of Public Health newborn registries, first appeared in 1971 before maintaining a consistently low ranking—typically between 299th and 385th place—among female given names through 2010. Its highest recorded frequency occurred in 1978, yet subsequent annual data reveal a stabilization within the mid-300s, underscoring Meliza’s status as a technically coherent yet comparatively uncommon choice within the Anglo-American onomastic landscape.
