Melrose Family History
Melrose Name Meaning
Scottish: habitational name from a place near Galashiels in the
Scottish Borders, so named from British words that were ancestors of
Welsh moel ‘bare’, ‘barren’ + rhos ‘moor’, ‘heath’. The
Breton and Irish equivalents of the second element mean ‘promontory’,
and this may also have been the sense here.
