Malahija
Malahija is an unusual South Slavic form of the biblical name Malachi. Despite ending in -a, its documented usage is male; as a girl's name, it has no basis in common Slovak or international onomastic tradition. In its female form, it can be formally declined in Slovak according to the 'ulica' paradigm, but its gender classification remains non-standard.
