Is it permissible to name a newborn girl (Malak)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to name a newborn girl Malak?

Answer:
It is not permissible, because Malak means angel, and they used to write this name as Malak from the angels, so this is not permissible.
