Muluk is in Origin.
Muluk carries two distinct etymologies. In Yucatec Maya, Muluk (often spelled Muluc) names one of the twenty Tzolk’in day signs, associated with water, rain, and ritual offerings; many gloss it as “water” or “jade drop,” reflecting links to the rain god Chaac and to the symbolism of precious droplets. As a day-name, it has appeared in inscriptions since the Classic Maya period and remains a traditional basis for given names in some Maya communities, typically used for any gender.
Separately, in Arabic mulūk is the plural of malik “king,” related to mulk “realm, sovereignty.” As a given name this form is rare but occurs sporadically in Arabic- and Persian-influenced regions, especially South Asia and the Horn of Africa, where it skews masculine. Variants and spellings include Muluk, Muluc, and Mulūk; related names and cognates include Malik/Malek and the Amharic Muluken (“king of kings”).
