Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: מֶלֶךְ (melek, meaning "king") and רָם (ram, meaning "high" or "exalted").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Malkiram in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper Hebrew name specific to the Old Testament genealogies.

Usage: Malkiram means "my king is exalted" or "king of elevation." It is a proper name used in the genealogies of the Bible, specifically referring to a descendant of King David.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of the parents' hopes or the circumstances of the child's birth. The name Malkiram reflects a royal or noble status, fitting for a descendant of David, Israel's most revered king. The genealogies in which Malkiram appears serve to establish the lineage and legitimacy of the Davidic line, which was central to Jewish identity and messianic expectations.
