Saheem is of Arabic origin, derived from the word 'sahim', which means 'forbidding' or 'prohibiting'. It is often used as a given name for boys in various cultures, including Arabic and South Asian communities. The name Saheem is also found among Muslims worldwide due to its Islamic significance. In the Quran, it refers to the Day of Judgment when access to heaven will be prohibited except for those who are righteous. Therefore, naming a child Saheem often carries the hope that they grow up to lead a life worthy of entering paradise.
"Saheem saw its popularity fluctuate over time, with five babies named in both 2016 and 2019, followed by a spike to six in 2023, totaling sixteen Saheems born between these years."
