it is usually sarcastically said though. just to show a sign of a knowlegable female, but usually it isn't reguarded as a serious thing as a sheik. a sheik can and is usually an imam.

Sheikha is an Arabic female name itself. Also used for ladies belongs to the royal families as well as female scholars, in terms of respect.

It means "Old Lady" but is meant as a term of respect.
