Hartimi

Hartimi is a surname that occurs in North Africa and among Arabic-speaking communities in the diaspora. In Arabic onomastics, Hartimi is typically a nisba, a suffix form used to indicate origin from a place, tribe, or family. The exact root of the name is not universally attested, and the form may derive from a geographic location, a tribal name, or a personal name; transliteration from Arabic script yields variants such as Hartimy, Hartemi, or Harthimi.

Usage and distribution of Hartimi tend to be local rather than nationwide; the name is relatively uncommon and not associated with a single canonical lineage. Bearers may identify with regional heritage, local genealogy, or family history rather than a centralized ancestral narrative. As with other nisba surnames, its interpretation can vary by country, dialect, and family tradition.

There are no widely recognized historical figures or institutions universally identified by the surname Hartimi in standard reference sources. The name may appear in local biographical records, genealogical studies, and contemporary public life, reflecting the mobility of North African communities and the broader patterns of Arabic-language surname formation.
