Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for Melea, as it is a Greek transliteration of a name found in the New Testament genealogy.

Usage: Melea is a proper noun used as a personal name in the genealogy of Jesus Christ. It appears in the New Testament, specifically in the Gospel of Luke, as part of the lineage tracing Jesus' ancestry.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of Jewish culture, genealogies were significant for establishing identity, heritage, and fulfilling prophecies concerning the Messiah. The genealogy in Luke is distinct from that in Matthew, as it traces Jesus' lineage through Mary, highlighting His human ancestry and connection to all humanity. Melea is one of the lesser-known ancestors, and little is known about him outside of his mention in the genealogy.
