a weirdly specific thing the 2000s era yugioh fandom did

differentiate between marik and yami marik by calling one of them marik and the other malik

and it was never fucking consistent who was who

Malik = Hikari

Marik = Yami.

It was consistant till a bit later about around when the abridged series was cropping up and the newer fans got super confused and decided to change everything.
