According to some websites, Malamati also celebrates on February 3rd, just like people with the names Asimina and Asimakis. However, other websites don’t mention the date of February 3rd.
The name Malamati originates from Greek, possibly meaning: "Made of gold or other precious metal". It comes from the word malagma (μάλαγμα) which means "wrought metal". It has its roots in the verb malasso (μαλάσσω) which means "I make a metal workable, I soften".
