Why mellow rather than mallow?

That is just the way the pronunciation evolved here in the U.S. and apparently in Australia too.

my pronunciation

mallow /m@lOu/
mellow /melOu/
marshmallow /melOu/

Marshmallows have a mellow taste.

I say /ma:rSmelOu/. I have been having a lot recently. I just go out to my backyard, light a campfire and start roasting them.

Oh, I have just recently got a new computer. It's a much faster one.
