Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno Melichar je slovenskou podobou mena Melchior, tradične odvodzovaného z hebrejských slov melech („kráľ“) a ór („svetlo“). Vykladá sa ako „kráľ svetla“ alebo „môj kráľ je svetlo“. S jedným z mudrcov z Východu ho spojila až neskoršia kresťanská tradícia; biblický text mená mudrcov neuvádza.
