Melbourne Family History
Melbourne Name Meaning
English (mainly East Midlands): habitational name from any of
various places. Melbourne in former East Yorkshire is recorded in
Domesday Book as Middelburne, from Old English middel
‘middle’ + burna ‘stream’; the first element was later replaced
by the cognate Old Norse meðal. Melbourne in Derbyshire has
as its first element Old English mylen ‘mill’, and Melbourn in
Cambridgeshire probably Old English melde ‘milds’, a type of
plant.
