Sheikh ( , , , , ''shuyūkh'' ) is an honorific title in the Arabic language, literally meaning "elder". It commonly designates a tribal chief or a Muslim scholar.

This title generally refers to men, there are also a small number of female sheikhs in history, ''Syeikha'' or ''Sheikha'' this generally refers to women. Provided by Wikipedia
