Honey moor or barren moor
Melrose is a Scottish locational name derived from the town in the Scottish Borders. It likely stems from the Brythonic Celtic elements 'mell' meaning bare or bald and 'ros' meaning moor or promontory, though it is often associated with the Latin 'mel' for honey due to its sound.
