Re: Bible cognates
Of course Malcolm, in its modern form, has no connection with any of those biblical names. However, Malcham/Malcam is associated with Moloch by most scholars. That Malco and Ab-Malek would also be related seems likely enough to me, but the problem is that after several millennia, it is next to impossible to make definitive statements about the origins of these ancient names.
