Malachi ( ; Hebrew: מַלְאָכִי‎, Modern: Malʾaḵī, Tiberian: Malʾāḵī, "my messenger"), also known as Malachias, is the name used by the author of the Book of Malachi, the last book of the Nevi'im (Prophets) section of the Tanakh. According to the 1897 Easton's Bible Dictionary, it is possible that Malachi is not a proper name; because it simply means "messenger", many assume it to be a pseudonym. Read more on Wikipedia
