Meaning of the name מלכי

The name Malki is a deeply meaningful Hebrew name that combines multiple dimensions of identity, faith, and tradition. The simple meaning of the name is "my king" - an expression of personal belonging, closeness, and admiration. In the religious and spiritual context, the name expresses the intimate relationship between a person and God, where the individual recognizes God as their personal king, guide, and protector. This is an expression of profound faith and spiritual devotion that has characterized the Jewish tradition throughout generations.

This grammatical structure appears frequently in the Bible and classical Hebrew literature, giving the name a particularly intimate and personal character.
