Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 85/85=M)

In Arabic 'Malaika' means common angels, some of them have proper nouns, but no angel is named as 'Malaika'. Though naming one's daughter 'Malaika' is not unlawful, but it is not better. You are advised to keep any other name.

Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
