I encountered this name as the name of a 4th-century saint. Does anyone know the origins of this name?

Saint Mamelta is also called Saint Mamlacha and l found this about Mamlacha:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiatha,_Hathes_and_Mamlacha - says:
Abiatha, Hathes, and Mamlacha were virgins and martyrs of the Bel-Garma province of Syria. They were martyred under Shapur II, about 345 AD. Their feast day is November 20. They are included in the Heiligen-Lexicon by J. E. Stadler. Mamlacha is also a Greek word which means "Kingdom".

l wasn't able to find the Greek word, but this article https://mcarasik.wordpress.com/category/history-of-hebrew/ says that:
''Malchut appears some 50 times in Biblical Aramaic. The two other Biblical Hebrew words used for “kingdom” or “kingship,” melucha and mamlacha, never appear in Aramaic. ''

My knowledge of Greek or Hebrew is insufficient to disprove or corroborate either origin.
