Cheick
Meaning of Cheick
The name Cheick is a masculine name of African origin, particularly common in West African countries such as Mali, Senegal, and Guinea. It is derived from the Arabic word "Sheikh," which means "chief" or "wise old man." The name carries connotations of leadership, wisdom, and respect. Pronounced as shek (/ʃɛk/), Cheick is a unique and culturally rich choice for a baby boy. A variation of this name is Cheikh. In the United States, the name has seen modest use over the years, with occurrences fluctuating between 5 to 13 newborns annually since 1996. Although it remains relatively rare in the U.S., ranking no higher than 6302 in any given year, its distinctiveness and cultural significance make it an appealing option for parents seeking a meaningful and uncommon name for their son.
