Malachy (given name)

Malachy is a name with two sources.

St. Malachi (1095-1148 AD) was the Bishop of Armagh who adopted the name from the Hebrew prophet "Malachi" whose name means "my angel" or "messenger of God."

It is also linked to the High King Maoilseachlainn "devotee of St. Sechnall", one of Saint Patrick's first companions.[1]
