  • Sheikh, also rendered as Sheik, Cheikh, Sjeik, Shaykh, Shaikh, Sheekh, Sheyh, Šeih, Šejh, Şeyh and other variants, is a word or honorific term in the Arabic language that literally means "elder". It is commonly used to designate an elder of a tribe, a revered wise man, or an Islamic scholar. Although the title generally refers to a male, a very small number of female sheikhs have also existed in history.
