Malik is the Arabic for "king, chieftain".

By analogy, the word malik is also used in the weaker meaning of 'chief' in various modest titles, such as, in Persian:

• Malik ul-Shu'ara: 'King of the Poets'; i.e. poet laureate.
• Malik ul-Tujjar: 'King of the Merchants', an office held by the head of the merchant community in each town or city.
• Maalik the hell guardian (angel who guards the Hellfire)
