Talk:Malik (name)

The origin of the name is Arabic and actually means king. The other origins, e.g. Hindu,cannot be taken as such given that during centuries of Muslim domination adoption of Arabic names, titles, and numerous loan words, have entered the languages and nomenclatures of the many indigenous communities such as Hungarian, Hindu etc. Therefore, the etymology of the term Malik/Malick needs to be included, along with its meaning,at the beginning of the article.Moarrikh (talk) 13:41, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

That the surname comes from Arabic ("king") is very dubious in the case of Slavs with that name. It may as well be native Slavic ("small" etc) or be from any of the 100+ of non-Slavic languages spoken in Russia and short of a definitive reference being provided every such language must be considered because that route is still more probable than Arabic Asmrulz (talk) 18:35, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Very doubtful? Where did you come from? It is a questionable matter. The name is clearly Arabic and has its own roots and derivations, so on the basis of denial. 91.186.247.145 (talk) 00:54, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Uses of the word 'mallik' do not mention its Sanskrut origin. Aadi Shankaracharya (8th century AD had use the word in his sanskrit composition 'Dwadashajyotirlinga Stotram'. In the second stanza of the composition he writes "tamarjunam mallikapurvamekam". It has been said in the praise of Mallikarjun, one of the dwadashajyotirlingams in India.
