Nâsem

Nâsem is a male given name used in parts of the Middle East, North Africa, and by diaspora communities. The diacritic over the â signals a longer vowel in some transliteration schemes; in more common English spellings the name appears as Nasim, Naseem, or Nasim. The form with the circumflex is relatively uncommon and typically arises in careful transliteration or stylized usage.

Etymology and meaning: The name derives from the Arabic word nasim (نَسِيم), meaning breeze or draft. Associated meanings include airiness, gentleness, and freshness. As a personal name, it is part of a broader family of Arabic-named terms built from the same root, carrying positive connotations linked to movement of air and calm.

Usage and distribution: Nasim/Naseem is widely used across Arabic-speaking countries and among Urdu- and Persian-speaking communities in South Asia. The spelling varies by language and country; diacritics such as â are often omitted in everyday writing. The name is generally masculine, though transliteration can blur gender in some contexts.

Notes: In addition to personal naming, Nasim appears as a surname or part of compound names in several cultures. There is no single universally prominent figure associated specifically with the spelling Nâsem, though the broader variants are common in literature, media, and public life.
