Melky is a unisex given name, originating from Hebrew and meaning "king". It has gained popularity as a given name due to its distinctive sound and royal connotation. The name's uniqueness can be attributed to its association with Melchior, one of the three wise men in the biblical Nativity story, who bore this name in some traditions. Melky is often used interchangeably with Melki or Malaki, and it can also serve as a short form for names like Melchior or Mekhi. This name has been increasingly adopted by parents seeking unique yet meaningful monikers for their children, adding to its growing popularity worldwide.
