The meaning of Melkor was "He who arises in might";

So says the index of the Silmarillion. Melkor had his name before the Elves were even made. Maybe he doesn't have an Elvish name (Although it probably is one.). Anyway, he was not a total "bad Seed". He merely created discord in the great music of the Ainur due to his lingering thoughts of desire for the Imperishable Flame.
Just a thought,
