The melchior Surname
melchior Name Meaning and History
German, Danish, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, and French: from the
personal name Melchior (a derivative of Hebrew melech
‘king’ + or ‘light’, ‘splendor’). This was in use as a slightly
unusual personal name throughout the Middle Ages, having been ascribed
in popular Christian tradition to one of the Magi. The surname is also
borne by Ashkenazic Jews, in which case it is an adoption of the
German surname.
