Malik, originating from Arabic, signifies someone who is a king or owner. The name is often used in Islamic cultures and reflects qualities of leadership and authority.
In Arabic, the name is written as مالك. The pronunciation “mah-leek” has a strong and regal sound, fitting for a name associated with kingship.
Malik ibn Anas was a prominent Islamic scholar and jurist, known for his compilation of hadiths (sayings of the Prophet Muhammad) known as the Muwatta. He is considered one of the founders of the Maliki school of Islamic jurisprudence.
