Milekah
and Milcah
Proper noun: Milkâh, a personal name borne by several Israelite women. The name likely means 'Queen,' deriving from a feminized form of 'king' (מלך, melech). In narrative contexts, Milcah is the daughter of Haran and wife of Nahor, kin to the patriarch Abraham, as well as the grandmother of Rebekah. The word, in its common noun form (מַלְכָּה), also signifies 'queen' or 'queen consort,' but as a personal name here it designates a named individual.
