From mullus (“mullet”), but considered folk etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *ml̥n-eyo-s, from *melh₂-. Cognates include Ancient Greek μέλας (mélas, “black”), Sanskrit मल॑ (mála, “dirt, filth, dust”), Latvian męl̃ns, and Old Prussian melne. Driessen rejects the connection with adj. in **-no- meaning 'black' since Proto-Italic **melnos ~ **mlnos would not yield Lat. mullus but **melnus ~ **blanus, cf. blandus (“soft”).
From Proto-Italic *molwos, from Proto-Indo-European *ml̥-wo-s, whence also Latvian mul̃vas (“reddish, yellowish”).
