Melina is the 344^th most common female given name in Finland, belonging to 1,265 female individuals (and as a middle name to 871 more), according to February 2023 data from the Digital and Population Data Services Agency of Finland.

Can be construed as a short form of names like Amelina (Ameline) and Carmelina (Carmela). The modern German usage derives mainly from Greek Μελίνα (Melína), stage name of the Greek actress Melina Mercouri, born Μαρία Αμαλία (María Amalía).
