Hachemi

Hachemi is a masculine given name and surname used in North Africa, particularly in Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco, and among Maghrebi communities abroad. It is often encountered in French-speaking contexts due to colonial influence on transliteration.

The name derives from the Arabic nisba Hashimi (Hashemi, Hashimi), meaning "descendant of Hashim," a clan name historically associated with the Quraysh tribe and with the Hashemite lineage. As a given name or surname, Hachemi indicates genealogical or tribal affiliation rather than occupational meaning.

Spelling variants include Hachemi, Hashemi, Hashimi, Hachimi, and Hachem, reflecting differences in transliteration from Arabic to Latin scripts and regional pronunciation.

In contemporary usage, Hachemi is found among Muslim populations in the Maghreb and in diasporic communities in Europe and the Americas. It is typically a masculine name, though in some regions it may be used as a family surname across generations regardless of gender.
