The Nik Family refers to the people who have the ''Nik'' (Jawi: نىٔ) title in front of their names in Malaysia. The Nik family largely originated from the state of Kelantan, which is located on the east coast of the Malaysian Peninsula. As ''Nik'' is part of the Malay Title by inheritance, it is customary for the title to be passed on to the children of a father who has the ''Nik'' title. Rarely, the title is also passed on from a mother having the ''Nik'' title. According to the history of Kelantan, the first recognised Sultan of Kelantan, Sultan Muhammad I, was also known as ''Nik Muhammadiah''. The first king of Reman in Upper Pattani and Upper Perak was also known as ''Tok Nik Leh''. According to Ustaz Abdullah Nakula, a well-known writer in Kelantan, the ''Nik''s in Kelantan, Pattani (now part of southern Thailand) are believed to be the offspring of Nik Ali, who was an important official under the rulers of Pattani. Nik Ali was also known as ''Fakih Ali Malbari'' (''Fakih'' meaning ''learned man'') and studied Islam in India. Also it is customary in Kelantan and Pattani that when a princess marries a common man, their children will bear the ''Nik'' title. == Important members of the Nik family == * Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, the former Menteri Besar of Kelantan. * Nik Ahmad Kamil Nik Mahmud, former Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat * Nik Hashim Nik Abdul Rahman, Federal Court of Malaysia judge * Nik Abdul Rashid Nik Abdul Majid, former Director of Institute Teknologi MARA (ITM)〔http://www.uitm.edu.my/uitm/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=70&Itemid=143〕 * Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, Member of Selangor State Assembly for Seri Setia * Nik Ramlah Nik Mahmood, managing director of the Securities Commission〔 http://www.biz.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/2/12/business/20298925=sec=business SC Names Nik, Ranjit MDs, the Star Online, 12 February, 2008 〕 * Nik Zainiah Nik Abd.
