Ghulam is an Arabic name meaning "servant" or "young man," often used in compound forms such as Ghulam Muhammad ("servant of Muhammad") to express devotion. It has been borne by notable figures including Ghulam Ishaq Khan, president of Pakistan from 1988 to 1993, and the legendary ghazal singer Ghulam Ali, whose soulful voice has enchanted audiences for decades. While no major places directly share the name, the root "ghulam" appears across the Muslim world in personal and place names that honour service to God. In Scotland, where diverse names have become more common, Ghulam represents a meaningful choice rooted in Islamic tradition
