Malak

Origin and meaning of Malak

Malak is a delicate Arabic girl's name meaning 'angel' (malāk): it suggests purity, sweetness and heavenly protection. Its root is the same that also gives the idea of royalty (malik, 'king'), but in use as a girl's name the angelic sense clearly prevails. It is widespread in the Arab world, from the Levant to North Africa, chosen by parents for its tender, luminous image, while little known in the West.
