Kaliq

Meaning of Kaliq

The name Kaliq, a masculine appellation of Arabic origin (root K-H-L-Q) meaning “creator,” carries both creative and spiritual associations through its link to the divine attribute al-Khāliq in Islamic tradition. In English, it is pronounced kuh-LEEK (/kəˈliːk/), a clear two-syllable form that translates smoothly across languages. In the United States, Kaliq has maintained a modest presence since the late 1970s, peaking at 17 recorded births in 2017 (rank 888) and appearing five times in 2023 (rank 924). Its distinctive Q ending and balanced rhythm have drawn interest from parents—particularly within Middle Eastern and Latin American communities—seeking a concise, evocative name that signals originality without sacrificing pronounceability.
