| has gloss | eng: Karim or Kerim (also transliterated as Kareem) is a common masculine given name. Karim is of Arabic origin كريم (kind, generous, noble) from the root ك ر م (to be generous, to honor, to praise). If preceded by the Arabic definitive article al, the name becomes al-Karim which is one of the 99 names (attributes) of God in Islamic mysticism. For this reason, al-Karim (The Most Generous, The Most Noble) is never used as a personal name, but 'Abd al-Karim (عبد الكريم), meaning "Servant of the Most Generous and Noble." |
