Azim

Meaning of Azim

Azim, a masculine name of Arabic origin (pronounced ah-ZEEM /æˈziːm/), derives from the root ʿ-z-m connoting greatness and resolute determination and is venerated in Islamic tradition as one of the ninety-nine names of God—al-ʿAzīm, “The Magnificent.” Embraced across linguistic and cultural frontiers, it resonates like an ancient motto of fortitudo, invoking images of dignitas and moral grandeur. Analytically, Azim’s standing in the United States has remained consistently within the top thousand for boys since the early 1970s, reaching its highest rank of 648 in 1974 and, after gradual fluctuations, appearing at position 899 in 2024—a testament to its enduring yet modest appeal among new parents. Its phonetic clarity and profound semantic weight afford it an elegant balance of accessibility and erudition, a quality that renders it a compelling choice for those who seek a name imbued with historical resonance and aspirational significance.
