The Meaning of Mela

I received a trade recently, first time from melamathman. There are plenty of interesting and intriguing usernames on TCDB, this one piqued my interest, and I got a little curious. It's kind of a neat name. I can assume the "mathman" part, but does mela mean something? I looked it up on Webster's:
    1. An Indian religious festival or fair: a gathering of people
    2. Black

Or it could mean something completely different. I guess I could always ask him why he chose the name, but it's really not that important, I just needed an intro to this post.
