Kasim is an Arabic name meaning "one who divides" or "distributor," often linked to generosity and fairness. It is a variant of Qasim, and one of the most notable historical bearers is Qasim ibn Muhammad, a grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, revered in Islamic tradition. In more recent times, Kasim Reed served as mayor of Atlanta, Georgia, from 2010 to 2018. While no prominent place is directly named after a Kasim, the shared root Qasim appears in place names such as Qasimabad in Pakistan. The name remains popular across Muslim communities worldwide and is occasionally spelled Qasim or Kassim, giving parents a few subtle choices for the same strong meaning.
