Makhmud—Kazakh name; it looks like it might be the Kazakh form of Mohammad.





Makram—Arabic for "noble, generous."





Maksím (Maxim, Maksym)—A famous bearer was the writer Maksím Alekséyevich Górkiy. Unfortunately will probably get seized on by the trendies, desperate for another name besides Maxwell, Max, and Maximillian that they can use and still get yet ANOTHER little Max.





Malachi—Hebrew for “angel.” I’m told this name has gotten modern-day Satanic associations because it was used in Children of the Corn. Is some recent movie enough to discard an ancient name that had no negative associations for thousands of years?

Marek—Estonian name. This is also the Czech and Polish form of Mark.

The younger Kahane was killed in 2001 by Arab extremists in the West Bank while travelling with his family.

Meldan





Meleager—One of the Argonauts.





Melecertes—One of Ino's sons.





Melech (Melek)—Hebrew for "king."





Melisso—From The Decameron; the penultimate story on the penultimate day, the hideously dated one where the moral of the story is to learn to beat your wife. At least Melisso isn't the one who's the wife-beater.





Melvin





Memnon—He was slain by Achilles during the Trojan War.





Menachem—Hebrew for “comforter.” Probably the most famous recent bearer was the seventh Lubavitcher rebbe, Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson.

Midas





Midhat—Arabic for "eulogy/praise."





Miesko (Mieszko)—Polish pet form of Mieclaw, Mieczyslaw, Miecislaw, Mieslaw, Mojslaw, and Maslaw.

He married his teacher Abigail, who was two years his senior (and the first First Lady to have a job after marriage), five years after her death marrying a woman thirteen years his junior, and installed the first bathtub, kitchen stove, and library in the White House, along with being the President who first sent diplomats to Japan. He was also the first President who had had a stepmother, and became chancellor to the University of Buffalo after leaving office.

Milogost—Old Slavonic for "grace guest."

Mohandas—Means "servant of Mohan"; the wonderful Gandhi bore this name.

Morad—Tajik for "wish" or "desire." Unfortunatel in English it's very close to "moron."





Mordechai (Mordecai, Mordekai, Mordekhai)—In the Bible, he is Esther’s uncle (some say cousin); recent famous bearers have been the founder of Reconstructionist Judaism, Mordecai Kaplan (whose daughter Judith, in 1922, was the first girl on record to have a bat mitzvah), as well as Mordekhai Anielewicz, the leader of the ZOB (Jewish Fighting Organisation) in the Warsaw Ghetto, as well as the publisher of the ghetto newspaper Against the Stream, and Mordechai Chaim Rumkowski, the leader of the Lodz Ghetto, the last ghetto to be liquidated, in the Spring of 1944. Rumkowski was one of the last members in that particular ghetto who was sadly sent to the smokestacks, but both he and Anielewicz were heroes while they were living and continue to be an inspiration even today; they showed the world that Jews can fight back even against a mighty oppressor, holding out longer than any of the invaded nations in Europe had, and rebutting the stereotype that Jews are weak cowards who run away instead of defending themselves.
