Melody

Melody; a musical tune.

Melody is a feminine name taken from the English word for a tune or a connected sequence of musical notes. Its naming origin is English, while the word’s deeper history reaches Greek through French and Late Latin. Those Greek roots explain the vocabulary, rather than making Melody an ancient Greek personal name. The attraction is unusually direct: a family can choose Melody because music matters to them, or someone with the name can enjoy that everyday association with a favourite tune. The soft m and l sounds and the light final vowel give it a lilting feel. In English, the emphasis falls at the beginning, allowing the last two syllables to move lightly after it.

Etymology: An English word name. The word travelled through French and Late Latin from Greek melōidia, referring to singing or music.
