Punjabi Shaikh and Pakistani sheikh or shaikh (Template:Lang-ur) are a branch of the Shaikhs in South Asia. Shaikhs claim to be descend from Arabs, however this was almost never the case. In Punjab, the title shaikh was given to recent converts and not to those of Arab descent as a polite euphemism.
