وَلَوْ جَعَلْنَٰهُ مَلَكًۭا لَّجَعَلْنَٰهُ رَجُلًۭا وَلَلَبَسْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّا يَلْبِسُونَ
Wa law ja'alnaahu malakal laja'alnaahu rajulanw wa lalabasnaa 'alaihim maa yalbisoon
And if We had made him an angel, We would have made him [appear as] a man, and We would have covered them with that in which they cover themselves.
Quran 6:9. Arabic: Uthmani text (Tanzil). English: Sahih International.
Say it MA-lak. The capital letters show the stressed part. In English it is also spelled Malaak. In Arabic it is written with 4 letters, from right to left: م mim + ل lam + ا alif + ك kaf.
Malak is a name with a good meaning, which is what the Sunnah asks for. The Prophet ﷺ said: "The most beloved of your names to Allah are Abdullah and Abdur-Rahman",3 and after these, any name with a good meaning is a sound choice. With the father's name it becomes Malak bint (and the father's name): see what bin, bint and abu mean.
