Baim is Indonesian in Origin.

Baim is a modern Indonesian given name, most often a colloquial short form of Ibrahim, widely used across the Malay world. Ibrahim is the Arabic form of the biblical Abraham, whose name means "father of many/multitudes," so Baim carries that inherited sense. In Indonesia the nickname has circulated informally for decades and, boosted by public figures such as actor Baim Wong, now appears as an independent first name; it remains rare outside Southeast Asia.

Variants and related forms include Ibrahim/Ibraheem, Brahim (North Africa), Ibra, Bram, and Abraham/Avraham. Indonesian diminutives like Rahim or Aim sometimes overlap with Baim in usage. In parts of Central Asia, Baim may also coincide with Turkic names built on bay "wealthy, noble" (e.g., Bayim/Bayym), giving a secondary reading of "noble, prosperous." Overall, Baim reads as concise, friendly, and culturally versatile.
