Meleik is Arabic, Hebrew, Turkish in Origin.

Meleik is a modern given name in English-language use, most often interpreted as a creative variant of Arabic Malik/Mālik, a name and title meaning “king” or “sovereign,” also “owner.” It sits alongside Melik (an Armenian and Turkish form of the same Arabic root used historically as a princely title). The spelling also resembles Turkish Melek, “angel,” though Meleik is typically linked to the “king” meaning rather than the “angel” etymology.

Use of Meleik rose in the United States from the late 20th century, especially within African American naming traditions that favor distinctive spellings of Malik. Related spellings and cognates include Malik, Maleek, Malek, Melik, Maliq, and Malyk; feminine or regional counterparts include Malika, Melike, and Melek. The name carries regal connotations and a contemporary look, while remaining anchored to a long-standing Semitic root shared across Arabic, Persian, Turkish, and Armenian contexts.
