I know maol=follower, in Scottish (ie Malcolm=servant of Colm)That said, I would assume Malina, if coming from maol=servant, servant, follower, to be a servant of St. Ian (John.)

I have been thinking a bit more about your thoughts - very interesting :) I think Malina is a pet form of Malcolmina, which is a female form of Malcolm. Therefore, I would be looking for the female servant of Colm (ie Saint Columba). Thank you for you help once again. :)

Thank you for this information. However, I really would like more information about the link between Malina and Malcolm, and hence follower/disciple of Saint Columba.
