Alimudin is Arabic in Origin.

Alimudin is a masculine Arabic-derived name composed of ‘Ālim (“learned, scholarly”) and al-Dīn (“of the faith/religion”), yielding the meaning “scholar of the faith” or “learned in religion.” In Persianate and South Asian usage the linking article often assimilates to ud/uddīn, while modern Southeast Asian spellings sometimes collapse the double d to produce Alimudin. The root ‘ilm (“knowledge”) underlies the name, connecting it to the honorific title ‘ālim for a religious scholar.

The name has circulated widely across the Muslim world since the medieval period, patterned after the al-Dīn compounds (e.g., Nūruddīn, Ṣalāḥuddīn). It appears in royal and common contexts alike, notably with Sultans Alimuddin I and II of Sulu in the 18th century, and in modern South Asia (e.g., Pakistani cricketer Alimuddin). Variants include Alimuddin, Alim-ud-Din, Alim Uddin, Alim al-Din, Alim ad-Din, Aleemuddin, Alemuddin, and Alimudin; the short form Alim is also used.
