Fahim is of Arabic origin, meaning 'understanding' or 'comprehension'. It is a unisex name, used for both boys and girls, but it's more commonly given to boys. In the Islamic tradition, Fahim is considered one of the 99 Names of God, known as Al-Fahim, which denotes His attribute of understanding all things perfectly. The name has gained popularity worldwide in recent decades, particularly among Muslim communities, due to its positive connotation and unique sound.
"The name Fahim experienced a peak popularity between 1997 and 2003 with over 20 births each year. However, there has been a significant decline since then, with fewer than 10 births annually from 2006 onwards."
