Hence spelled. In French... The name is pronounced similar to Muh-lan-Soh and can be found spelled MELANCON or MELANSSON. The 'C' is pronounced as 'SS'. In English I have found it as Malankan, Malanson, Molansen (they thought they were Swedish descent). Good luck.... Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
