We do not know who the prophet 'Malachi' was - there was never a person actually called Malachi. The Book of Malachi was written anonymously, probably in the early post-Exilic period. Verses 3:1-4 refer to 'my messenger' (Hebrew: mal'aki) and it is this reference that gives the book its name: Malachi.
ADDITION: Possibly there was no writer of the book of Malachi by the name of Malachi, but since all other prophetic books have historically identified their author in the introductory heading, this suggests that Malachi was indeed the name of the last OT writing prophet in Israel.
Jewish tradition identifies him as a member of the Great Synagogue that collected and preserved the Scriptures.
