Malkiah
Malkiah Origin and Meaning
Malkiah is a feminine name with Hebrew origins, though it has historically been used for both genders. The name combines elements meaning "king" or "ruler" (malk) with a reference to God (iah, from Yahweh), essentially meaning "God is my king" or "ruled by God." It appears in Biblical texts as a masculine name, though modern usage has adapted it as a feminine option as well. Malkiah remains relatively uncommon, appealing to parents seeking names with deep religious significance and historical roots. The name carries a regal quality while expressing devotion and faith. Its biblical connections make it particularly meaningful in religious communities, though its melodic sound gives it broader appeal among those drawn to names with spiritual significance.
