Azeem

Boy name · 7 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Azeem: 7 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 2006.

Azeem is an Arabic name meaning “great,” “mighty,” or “powerful,” rooted in the same term as one of the 99 names of God in Islam, Al-Azim. Among notable bearers, cricketer Azeem Rafiq became a prominent voice against racism in English sport, and Azeem Azhar is a respected technology commentator and writer. While no major places are directly named after Azeem, the name’s root appears in the Arabian Desert region of Al-Azim, a subtribe area. A close variant is Azim, and in modern Scotland the name has grown in popularity as part of the country’s multicultural naming landscape, reflecting both faith and strength.
