Etymology 1 nb, based on nb fr Mali, ultimately continuing the name of the medieval Mali Empire.

Synonyms nb Maliriket Mali Empire historical Derived terms nb malier a Malian nb malisk Malian See also Etymology 2 Either a Norwegian form of nb Magdalene or a short form of nb Amalie. In the first analysis, the name belongs to the same Norwegian name family as nb Malene and nb Malin, ultimately continuing nb grc Μαγδαληνή woman from Magdala, the byname of Mary Magdalene, from grc Μαγδαλά Magdala. The Norwegian form developed through the considerable shortening and adaptation characteristic of traditional Scandinavian forms of the name. In the second analysis, nb Mali is a shortened form of nb Amalie. The latter is a Norwegian form of the Latinized Germanic name Amalia, ultimately based on Germanic personal names containing nb gem-pro *amalą hard work, toil, struggle. The two proposed origins are etymologically unrelated. Proper noun nb proper noun nb female. nb Mali skal begynne på skolen til høsten.
