Origin and meaning of Karim
Karim comes from the Arabic Karīm (كريم), 'generous, noble, magnanimous', and is one of the ninety-nine names of God in Islam, al-Karīm, 'the Generous'. The name conveys ideas of liberality, dignity and nobility of spirit. It is very common throughout the Arab and Muslim world, from the Maghreb to the Middle East, and is also known in Europe, especially France; the English variant Kareem accompanies it, always tied to the value of generosity at its heart.
