Malachi

/ˈmæləkaɪ/ noun

Definition

The last book of the Old Testament in Christian biblical canon, attributed to the prophet Malachi. A Hebrew name meaning 'my messenger' or 'my angel'.

Etymology

Hebrew 'mal'akhi' meaning 'my messenger', from 'mal'ak' meaning 'messenger' or 'angel'. The name reflects the prophet's role as God's messenger to the people of Israel around 450 BCE.

Kelly Says

Malachi occupies a unique position as the bridge between the Old and New Testaments, ending with a promise of Elijah's return. The name itself embodies the concept of divine communication, making the prophet both the message and the messenger.
