As a surname, Ailem is less common but does appear in genealogical records, particularly in Portugal and Brazil. Individuals bearing the surname Ailem may trace their ancestry back to these regions.

In other contexts, "ailem" might be a misspelling or a variant of other words or names depending on the language and region.
