Alimuddin is Arabic in Origin.

Alimuddin is a masculine Arabic compound name built from ʿālim (scholar, learned) and ad-dīn (of the faith/religion), from the root ʿ‑L‑M “knowledge.” Together it signifies “scholar of the faith” or “one whose knowledge serves religion.” In Arabic script it appears as عالم الدين or عالِمُ الدِّين; the definite article assimilates to /d/ in pronunciation, giving ad‑Dīn. The name belongs to a classic class of honorific compounds ending in al‑Dīn.

Such compounds flourished from the medieval Islamic period through Persianate courts and madrasa culture, later spreading widely in South Asia and the Malay–Indonesian world. As a given name, Alimuddin (and shortened Udin) is common among Muslims in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Indonesia, and occurs as a byname for religious scholars. Variants and transliterations include ʿĀlim al‑Dīn, Alim ad‑Din, Aleemuddin, Aalimuddin, Alim‑ud‑Din, and Aleem Uddin.
