Wanderlust World Wanderlust World "Malik" is an Arabic name meaning "king" or "owner." It is not a traditional Spanish name and has no direct translation. In Spain, it would typically be used as-is, pronounced roughly MAH-leek. Spanish speakers might adapt it phonetically, but there is no equivalent Spanish name. If a Spanish equivalent were sought for meaning, "Rey" (king) is the literal translation, but it is not used as a personal name in the same way.
