Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Seema: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1986.
The name Seema traces its roots to Sanskrit, where it means “limit” or “boundary,” often symbolising a marker of virtue or restraint. It is a popular name in India and among South Asian diaspora communities, and has no specific Scottish origin. Notable bearers include Seema Biswas, the acclaimed Indian stage and film actress who starred in *Bandit Queen*, and Seema Kennedy, a British Conservative Party politician who served as a Member of Parliament. While no well-known places are named after a Seema, the name shares its etymological root with the Hindi word for “border.” A common variant, Sema, is occasionally used in Turkey as a feminine name.
