Maleaume (m)
Any information on the name Maleaume? It's the name of a child actor in a French series called La Mante.

French sources seem to agree that it is a rare variation of Malo. The ending is perhaps influenced by Guillaume or even Malcome (Malcolm).

From what little information I can find, it seems to be related to the name Malo, which you can find here: https://www.behindthename.com/name/malo/submittedThe -aume ending can be seen in a few names of Germanic origin (like Aliaume and Guillaume), that coming from the Germanic element -helm, though Malo is of Breton origin, so maybe the -aume ending in Maleaume could have been influenced by that?
