In Greek mythology, Melia was a nymph, one of the Meliae, who were daughters of Oceanus. By her brother Inachus, she became the mother of Io, Phoroneus and Aegealeus or Phegeus. In other stories, she was the mother of Amycus by Poseidon.
Melia is also the name of a genus of trees in the mahogany family Meliaceae, notably the Chinaberry or Bead tree Melia azedarach.
