Marvelous Melmo is a manga from >40 years ago, apparently never released / translated for the English market, and its nice alliterative title makes me a bit curious of when and how the English title came to be.

Is it a ~2000s era title? Given how the Wikipedia's page history indicates a stub existed with the title in 2006?

Kodansha’s 2012 release of the manga had Marvelous Melmo on the cover. The earliest use of the English title I can definitively pin down right now is the old version of the official Tezuka site via an archive.org capture from 2002, however The Anime Encyclopedia uses the title and that first came out in 2001 (although I only have the second and third revisions so can’t guarantee that Marvelous Melmo was named in the original edition).
