My King Saves
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine personal name; shortened form of מַלְכִּישׁוּעַ; singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name is a compound of מֶלֶךְ (king) with a form related to שׁוּעַ (deliverance/salvation), conveying the declaration "My king saves." The rendering preserves the first-person possessive sense embedded in מַלְכִּי and reflects the verbal force of deliverance inherent in the second element of the full name. |
