Melvie is a feminine name of French origin derived from the Norman Malleville. Meaning “bad settlement,” perhaps cheerful Melvie will inspire baby to keep moving forward. Melvie may also be a pet form of Malvina, a girl’s name coined by the 18th-century Scottish poet James Macpherson. Inspired by the Gaelic mala mhinn, Melvie adopts the meaning “smooth brow” or “thin eyebrows,” a leading beauty trend until recently. No matter where baby comes from nor the size of their brows, Melvie invites your little one to make their own inspirational mark on a tuneful appellation.
