Actually Malik is a Semitic name and is thought to derive from mlk,wiki-Malik. But it must be kept in mind in Levant it is written as mlk, while in Hebrew it is used as malek. As for usage in Arabic, it is pronounced as Malik, which actually means master. As for European, malek is a term used by slaves which comes from maly. Never heard of a Germanic term for malakati.
