My name is Melika and I love it. I can't understand why some people hate this name. Or why they suggest that you don't choose this name for your children because her friends will make fun of her. This is ridiculous to make fun of the name that is both beautiful and has a good meaning and a good history.
I apologize if I could not express my meaning correctly because my mother's tongue is not English.

I also went to school with a childhood friend named Malika, but she was absolutely wonderful. She was African-American, and her parents had given her and her siblings African names. My friend pronounced her name muh-LEE-kuh. I think it's a pretty name.

The name Melika is originally Greek and the name of a Greek goddess named Melikianos originates and means eternal love. It also means queen and bee in different languages and even the name of a species of wheat.

It's a pretty name but I can't bring myself to ever use it because I went to school with a Malika and she was not nice!

My name is Malika, and let me warn future parents out there: if you love your child DO NOT give them this name. It's awful. It's spelled terribly and the pronunciation is terrible. My skin literally crawls every time someone says my name. If I could travel back in time and give myself a normal name, I would do it. Don't ever think "Oh, I want my daughter to have a unique name!" It doesn't matter what you want. What matters is your daughter's sanity and self-image. You don't want your daughter to hate herself, do you? Stick with the nice and normal choices like Samantha and Ally. I'm just trying to help you not destroy your family.

My name is Malika and I was born in Morocco, Tangers, Africa. My parents had a bar there
called "The Lion & The Lizard". This was 49 years ago. I have been called Malika my whole life which gave me a bit of undue ridicule going to school in Hawaii. But I learned to love the name. My parents were foreigners to Morocco, and my father was from Oakland, California, USA & my mother from Dartford, Kent, England. I have been told it meant queen. Every person has their own opinion.

Malika (ملكة) is NOT pronounced "mə-LEE-kə" or "mə-LIE-kə".
It is pronounced 'Mə-LIK-ə' (the 'lik' part sounding EXACTLY like the word 'lick'). This name 'Malika' means "queen".
"Mə-LIE-kə" is the pronunciation of the DIFFERENT name "Malaika" (ملائكة) meaning "angels". Check out Malaika here: http://www.behindthename.com/name/malaika
The "mə-LEE-kə" pronunciation is COMPLETELY INCORRECT and there is NO Arabic name said like this AT ALL so it's MEANINGLESS in Arabic.
Hope I helped clear things up. (I can read Arabic.) [noted -ed]

In English-speaking countries (especially the United States) if you are not of Arabic origin and do not hold an appropriate surname, "Malika" will be seen as "kre8tiv" (in other words: made up). That all aside, I am not a fan... it seems to be lacking a key factor (perhaps professionalism?).

One of my middle names is Malikah, which I learned to mean "princess" or "ruler". Perhaps different origin or additional meaning, but interesting to learn.
