# Malchijah (מַלְכִּיָּהוּ) Malchijah is a Hebrew personal name appearing once in the biblical text. The name is a compound formation combining two elements: *malki* (relating to "king") and *yah* (a shortened form of the divine name YHWH). This structure was typical of Hebrew names, where individuals were identified through combinations invoking royal authority or divine association. Based on the lexical data provided, Malchijah functioned as a proper noun designating a specific individual in the biblical record. With only a single occurrence documented, the name cannot be analyzed for patterns of usage or contextual variations. The lemma's singularity limits what can be determined about the historical or theological significance of this particular person beyond the basic identification provided by the name itself.
