Meaning:*
The origin of this name is still today quite uncertain. The theories include: 1) From the Hebrew “eli melekh > Melki’or,” meaning “God is king, God is light, my king is light.” 2) From the Old Persian “melk quart” meaning “city of the king.” It is the name given in the later legend to one of the Biblical Magi appearing in the Gospel of Matthew.
