Saikia was a Paik officer of the Ahom militia who led a hundred paiks. There was a similar office in the Koch kingdom as well. As it was a purely administrative position, the title holder could belong to diverse ethnic groups. Today, this title is used as a surname by people of various ethnic origins. It is found among Kaibarta community. The Saikia in the Paik system was higher in rank to the Bora (in charge of 20 paiks) but lower in rank to the Hazarika (in charge of a thousand paiks).
