Malik
Malik, Mallik, Melik, Malka, Malek, Maleek, Malick, Mallick, or Melekh ( phn, 𐤌𐤋𐤊; ar, ملك; he, מֶלֶךְ) is the Semitic term translating to "king", recorded in East Semitic and Arabic, and as mlk in Northwest Semitic duri ...
''. The name means "servant of the King", in the Christian instance 'King' meaning 'King of Kings' as in Jesus Christ and in Islam, ''Al-Malik'' being one of the
names of God in the Qur'an, which give rise to the
Muslim theophoric names.
The letter ''a'' of the ''al-'' is unstressed, and can be transliterated by almost any vowel, often by ''e''. So the first part can appear as Abdel, Abdul or Abd-al. The second part may appear as Malik, Malek or in other ways. The whole name is subject to variable spacing and hyphenation.
There is a distinct but related name, Abdul Maalik ( ar, عبد المالك), meaning "servant of the Owner", referring to the Qur'anic name ''Mālik-ul-Mulk''. The two names are difficult to distinguish in transliteration, and some of the names below are instance of the latter one.
