Malik, Melik, Malka, or Melech ((アラビア語:ملك); (ヘブライ語:מֶלֶךְ)) is originally an East Semitic (Akkadian/Assyrian/Babylonian, Eblaite) and later a Northwest Semitic (e.g. Assyrian Neo-Aramaic, Syriac, Amorite, Canaanite, Hebrew) and Central Semitic (Arabic) word meaning "King". The general meaning of "Malik" is leader and ruler. Although the early forms of the name were to be found among the Pre-Arab and Pre-Islamic Semites of The Levant, Canaan, and Mesopotamia, it has since been adopted in various other, mainly but not exclusively Islamized or Arabized non-Semitic Asian languages for their ruling princes and to render kings elsewhere. It is also sometimes used in derived meanings. 'Al-Malik' (literally "The King") is one of the names of God in Islam. The female version of Malik is Malikah ((アラビア語:ملكة)) (or its various spellings such as Malekeh or Melike), meaning "queen". The name Malik was originally found among various pre-Arab and non-Muslim Semitic peoples such as the indigenous ethnic Assyrians of Iraq, Amorites, Jews, Arameans, Mandeans, Syriacs, Nabateans and pre-Islamic Arabs. It has since been spread among various predominantly Muslim and non-Semitic peoples in Central Asia, the Middle East, and South Asia. The last name "Malik" may also of Slavic origin, most predominantly Polish, Czech, Slovakian and Slovenian, as it comes from a Polish word "mały" meaning "small". It's comparable with surnames such as "Malicki", "Maliczek", or "Malikowski".〔http://baby-names.familyeducation.com/name-meaning/malik〕 ==Etymology== The earliest form of the name ''Malka'' was used to denote a prince or chieftain in the East Semitic Akkadian language of the Mesopotamian states of Akkad, Assyria, Babylonia and Chaldea.〔F.Leo Oppenheim - Ancient Mesopotamia〕 The Northwest Semitic ''mlk'' was the title of the rulers of the primarily Amorite, Sutean, Canaanite, Phoenician and Aramean city-states of the Levant and Canaan from the Late Bronze Age. Eventual derivatives include the Aramaic, Neo-Assyrian, Mandic and Arabic forms: ''Malik'', ''Malek'', ''Mallick'', ''Malkh''a, ''Malka'', ''Malkai'' and the Hebrew form ''Melek''. ''Moloch'' has been traditionally interpreted the epithet of a god, known as "the king" like Baal was an epithet "the master" and Adon an epithet "the lord", but in the case of Moloch purposely mispronounced as ''Molek'' instead of ''Melek'' using the vowels of Hebrew ''bosheth'' "shame". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Malik」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
