The title Shaikh, also known as Sheikh is an 11th Century CE term meaning “great and noble king or savior”.

Canon 6126 (link)

The term Shaikh (Sheikh) is a title first introduced as the leader of the Druze movement within Islam during the 11th Century. It is derived from two ancient Persian words shah being the shortened official title of a King of Persia from the time of the Achaemenid Empire and King Cyrus the Great (559-530 BCE) and the word ikh meaning “great, noble”. Hence, the literal meaning of sha(h)ik is “great and noble king/savior”.
