His name is also commonly read as Malik by fans. There is no conclusive evidence that the character's name was originally meant to be romanized as Malik; most fans believe that it was made fairly obvious that it was meant to be romanized that way given the meaning of the name "Malik", and given the fact that Malik is a fairly common Arabic name; additionally, "Malik" can be defined as "the controller," a well-fitting name given his excessive use of the Millennium Rod.
Likely Malik comes from the fact that often "l" and "r" alternate in names from Japanese to English; examples include Kirara to Kilala in the anime InuYasha and Zoro to Zolo in the anime One Piece.
