Malka by decade in England and Wales · Girls

Births registered with the name in each decade of this one list, with the number of years the list covers in that decade.

Drawn from the 2,577 names with a recorded popularity standing (common, familiar, uncommon), so a name outside that set could have passed Malka without appearing here.
