Melchizedek
Melquisedec is a boy's baby name of Hebrew origin, the Spanish rendering of Melchizedek, from the Hebrew Malkī-ṣedeq, meaning 'my king is righteousness' or 'king of righteousness.' Melchizedek was the mysterious priest-king of Salem who blessed Abraham in the Book of Genesis — later interpreted by Paul in the Letter to the Hebrews as a foreshadowing of Christ. A name of profound theological depth in Latin American Catholic and evangelical communities.
Melquisedec has 21+ years of history in the U.S., first appearing in 1994.
