History & Origin

Milik appears in United States records from the mid-1970s as a variant of Malik, the Arabic word for 'king.' Malik rose steadily as an American given name; Milik is a rarer spelling that keeps the meaning and sound.

It was never common, reaching only a couple dozen boys a year around its mid-1990s high while standard Malik stayed better known. A Milik from that time is around thirty now.

Did you know? Milik carries the Arabic malik, 'king,' the same royal word behind the far more common Malik.
