méla is used as a proper noun to refer to a specific person.
Did you know?
- While Méla is a name, the word mela is the Italian word for 'apple'. Because of this, some French speakers may associate the name with the fruit or an Italian origin.
- The French language uses the circumflex accent in mêler to signal that an 's' was historically dropped from the spelling, a linguistic evolution not present in the proper name Méla.
- Because méla looks almost identical to the French verb 'mêler', which means 'to mix' or 'to meddle', a reader might misread a sentence containing the name as an action.
Examples in context
- Je cherche Méla.I am looking for Méla.
- Est-ce que Méla est là ?Is Méla there?
- Méla est une femme très gentille.Méla is a very kind woman.
