[Marvelous Melmo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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?

marvelous-melmo
When did Marvelous Melmo's title get translated into English? And how?


Kodansha’s 2012 [release](https://kc.kodansha.co.jp/product?item=0000043986)
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](https://web.archive.org/web/20020424111941/http://en.tezuka.co.jp/manga/sakuhin/m078/m078_01.html)
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).
