Mala

Meaning of Mala

Mala tiptoed into the world of names with a gentle sway. It hails from Sanskrit, meaning “garland,” like a circle of fresh flowers draped around a cherished neck. In Spanish it carries a spark of cheeky rebellion—“mala” is the feminine twist on “bad,” a secret wink under a sun-drenched sky. This name has been a quiet treasure in the U.S. for decades, with sixteen bright-eyed Malas arriving in 2023. Calling her Mala is like weaving a sunrise rainbow or watching a firefly dance at dusk. Warm, bold, and bursting with color, Mala invites a lifetime of playful adventures.
