[Facts] Re: Mamelta
in reply to a message by Laslow
Saint Mamelta is also called Saint Mamlacha and l found this about Mamlacha:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiatha,_Hathes_and_Mamlacha - says:
Abiatha, Hathes, and Mamlacha were virgins and martyrs of the Bel-Garma province of Syria. They were martyred under Shapur II, about 345 AD. Their feast day is November 20. They are included in the Heiligen-Lexicon by J. E. Stadler. Mamlacha is also a Greek word which means "Kingdom".

l wasn't able to find the Greek word, but this article https://mcarasik.wordpress.com/category/history-of-hebrew/ says that:
''Malchut appears some 50 times in Biblical Aramaic. The two other Biblical Hebrew words used for “kingdom” or “kingship,” melucha and mamlacha, never appear in Aramaic. ''
---
My knowledge of Greek or Hebrew is insufficient to disprove or corroborate either origin.
