Malaquias

Malaquias is the Spanish and Portuguese spelling of the Hebrew name Malachi. It is most commonly encountered as:

• Malachi (Biblical Figure): One of the twelve minor prophets in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). The Book of Malachi is the last book of the Nevi'im (Prophets) in the Hebrew Bible and the last book of the Old Testament in most Christian Bibles.

• Malachi (Book of the Bible): The Book of Malachi is a prophetic book attributed to the prophet Malachi. It addresses issues of social justice, religious corruption, and the coming day of judgment.

The name Malachi itself means "my messenger" or "my angel" in Hebrew. Therefore, Malaquias, as the Spanish and Portuguese form, carries the same meaning. It is used as a given name for males.
