Mele is from the Tongan Mele — Tongan + Samoan rendition of Hebrew Maryam / Miriam. Mele is one of the Tongan + Samoan + Polynesian feminine names — central to traditional Polynesian Christian heritage.
Mele does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.

In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Mele reduce to 8, The Visionary. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
