    - The patronym consists o "mälik" (Arab.-Pers. ملک [malik] 'keeng, sovereign', Pers. غلی [ghulī], an finally, the Roushie patronymic suffix -евич).
    - The surname contains three elements: "berdi" 'servant, slave' (frae Pers. برده [bardah]), the name o the Islamic prophet, Muhammad, an Roushie -ов (the common Slavic suffix o origin/faimily).
