Language & etymology
What the name means.
Melekh is the ordinary Hebrew noun “king.” When applied to the LORD, it expresses divine rule rather than naming a separate deity.
Gematria

Mem 40 + Lamed 30 + Kaf 20 = 90
Numeric value is a traditional interpretive practice; it is not the word’s etymology and does not establish doctrine.
