Bekim is Albanian in Origin.

Bekim is an Albanian masculine name identical with the common noun bekim, blessing. The word belongs to Albanian, an Indo-European language of the western Balkans, and its earliest recoverable form for the name is simply Albanian bekim. Morphologically it is built on the verb bekoj, to bless, with the productive nominal suffix -im, which forms nouns of action or result; the literal sense is therefore a blessing or benediction.

Use of Bekim is concentrated among Albanian speakers in Albania, Kosovo, North Macedonia, and diaspora communities, rather than in Turkish naming. It fits a modern Albanian pattern of abstract-noun names such as Kujtim, memory, and Agim, dawn. The best-known bearer is Bekim Fehmiu (1936–2010), the Kosovo-born Yugoslav actor who brought the name wider visibility. U.S. Social Security records show small, male-only registrations from 1970, peaking in 1981, consistent with immigrant-community use.
