I would have to say it sounds more italian then any irish last name!!

It's Italian and I'm going to take stab at it and say it means bad light

This is what www.ancestry.com had to say about the name,
Malizia
Italian: nickname from malizia ‘malice’, ‘spite’; ‘mischievousness’ (Latin malitia).
hope this helps.
