ArchivesRe: The surname Meloni
in reply to a message by Siegfried
MELONE is on page 36 of “Our Italian Surnames,” by Joseph G. Fucilla, published in 1987. There may be several derivations for MELONE and similar names, but on p. 36 it is derived from “Manuele”, sometimes from “Carmelo”.
Page 34 describes the process of “syncope” in the formation of pet names.
