No, I don't think it is. Malik meanins king in Arabic. It's an Arabic word.
What's haram, and this I am sure, is to call someone Al-Malik. Cause that means The King,And Allah is the King of all of us. Al Malik is one of the ninety nine names of Allah.
So if you want to use the name, you need to add Abdel( the servant of) to it.
So that it means "the servant of God" and that way, you are not called yourself God, but the servant of God!

Oh yeah, the words "owner" and "king" in Arabic are actually very different in pronaunciation, and spelling.
Owner, is pronounced (Maa lik) spelled : meem alif, lam, kaf
King is pronounced (Mel lik) & spelled : meem, lam, kaf

IMO, it's just a word. But I don't know about the grammar in Arabic (which my teacher called it the most complex and sensitive language in the world).
Even the word god itself has many owner, like Yesus, Odin, Zeus, etc. I think it's just a word, althought it's one of the reason I don't like to refer Allah simply by God. If I must , I'll still make the difference between the use for Allah (God)and the others (god).
Sorry if it doesn't help, but I think it's the same for Arabic.
