Malachia, derived from the Hebrew male name "Malachi," is of uncertain meaning but often interpreted as "messenger" or "angel." It has been used sparingly throughout history and is more commonly found in Scottish and Irish contexts. The name gained some popularity during the 19th century but remains relatively rare today. In literature, Malachia is notably associated with the Book of Malachi in the Old Testament.
"Malachia saw eleven newborns between 2004 and 2009."
