i suspect 'mellamphy' is a corruption of 'maliphant' (as mumpsey-mompesson or huffam-hougham). no clear significance beyond author showing his hand in events occurring by all accounts arbitrarily

oh, maliphant=malenfant, i knew this but forgot. so its not just making a meaningless coincidence happen, its another 'clue' (object of vague significance planted to encourage apophenia)
