Melita

Gentle on the tongue and pleasing to the senses, Melita is a Greek feminine name that means "honey." A variation of the Ancient Greek Melite, Melita is connected to an alluring cast of mythological figures. Perhaps the most famous is the daughter of the river god Aegaeus named Melite—a beautiful naiad who captured the affections of Herakles. Melita is also the Latin name of Malta, adding a sweet place-inspired touch to this lyrical choice.
