Meaning and origin
Melody means 'Song' or 'melody' — a pleasing sequence of musical tones; as a name, it carries the meaning of the English word directly.
Used almost exclusively for girls in English-speaking usage; sits alongside other abstract/musical word-names (Harmony, Aria, Melodie) as part of a broader 20th/21st-century naming pattern of using evocative common nouns as given names.
