Malachy

Malachy is a boy's name of Irish origin. This beautiful Anglicized version of Máel Máedóc means "disciple of Saint Máedóc" and refers to the first bishop of Ferns, famed for his faith and many miracles. You'll undoubtedly be tempted to shorten it to Mal or Kai when baby’s on their best behavior. If you're looking to honor your little one’s Irish heritage, you may already know that actor Cillian Murphy of Peaky Binders chose Malachy for his son. Despite its pre-Christian meaning of "servant,” your stubborn little angel will only settle for first place!
