Malluch: a personal name borne by several Levites and laymen in postexilic Israel.
A Hebrew proper name meaning perhaps 'counselor' or 'king' (from the root m-l-k), borne by at least six different individuals in the postexilic period. Malluch appears among the Levites in the Chronicler's genealogy (1 Chr 6:44), among those who had taken foreign wives in Ezra's reform (Ezra 10:29, 32), and among those who sealed the covenant under Nehemiah (Neh 10:4, 27). The Septuagint renders it variously as Maloch and Malouch, reflecting dialect variation in the Greek transliteration.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A proper masculine name borne by several individuals in postexilic biblical literature: a Levite ancestor in the temple singer genealogy (1 Chr 6:44), two men who divorced foreign wives during Ezra's reforms (Ezra 10:29, 32), and signatories of Nehemiah's covenant (Neh 10:4, 27). Spanish consistently renders 'Maluc/Malukh' while French and German leave the Hebrew untransliterated, reflecting lesser familiarity with this name in those traditions. 6×
