ArchivesWhen the Irish 'anglicized' Maoilsheachlainn...
in reply to a message by Nanaea
...and other names with the Mael- prefix, they did it as the Hebrew Malachi (this spelling often found in Ireland) but pronounced mal-ah-kee, so, the names are loosely related.
Both names are beyond cool.

Another intriguing anglicization...
...would be Parthalan, I suppose. I've found sources which claim that this is the Irish equivalent of "Bartholomew", while others claim that this name is entirely of Celtic origin. And both names are connected in Ireland, in much the same manner as are Malachi and these Maoil/Mael names you'd mentioned.
