Masoom is Arabic in Origin.
Masoom is an Urdu/Persian-influenced transcription of Arabic ma'sum (معصوم), from the root 'aṣama (ʿ-ṣ-m) “to protect, restrain,” meaning “innocent, sinless, safeguarded.” In Islamic theology it denotes one preserved from error, especially prophets and, in Shi'a thought, the Fourteen Infallibles. As a personal name it appears across the Arabic-speaking world, Iran, Turkey, and South Asia, often masculine but essentially unisex.
Variants include Masum (Turkish/Bengali/Arabic), Ma'sum/Ma'soom, and Masoum/Masoom in Persian and Urdu orthographies. Feminine counterparts are Masuma, Masooma, Masoumeh (Masumeh), and Maasuma; diminutives like Somi exist in some communities. The name has long been used in Muslim literary and devotional contexts and also occurs as a surname in Bangladesh and Turkey. Contemporary bearers in the diaspora keep the meaning of moral purity and gentle character, making Masoom a virtue name with cross-regional familiarity.
