The masculine personal name Malcolm is of Scottisch origin and derives from Máel Coluim which means "disciple of Saint Columba". The true Scottish-Icelandic version Melkólmur (not Melkólfur, which is a corruption) was used to designate several Scottisch kings in The Orkneyinga saga (27, 43, 82, 98, ect.)
