History & Origin

Malachii is a modern respelling of Malachi, from Hebrew Mal'akhi, 'my messenger, my angel'. Malachi is the final book of the Hebrew prophets, and it is debated whether the word was a name or a title. The name entered English use after the Reformation and has surged again in recent decades; this doubled-i spelling is new (said 'MAL-uh-ky').

It is very rare in the U.S., far behind Malachi. Rare, biblical, and strong.

Did you know? Malachi closes the Hebrew prophets, and the name means 'my messenger' — scholars still debate whether it was the prophet's name or simply his job description.
