Malcohm Origin and Meaning

The name Malcohm is a boy's name.

Malcohm is a variant spelling of Malcolm, a masculine name with Scottish Gaelic origins. The traditional Malcolm derives from 'Máel Coluim,' meaning 'devotee of Saint Columba' or 'servant of Columba.' This alternative spelling with the added 'h' gives the name a distinctive touch while maintaining its strong historical roots. The name carries royal connotations, as it was borne by several Scottish kings. While less common than the traditional spelling, Malcohm offers the same powerful sound and dignified heritage with a unique twist. The name suggests strength, leadership, and Celtic heritage, appealing to parents seeking a name with both historical depth and individuality.
