What is the meaning of the name Naseemah ?

The baby name Naseemah is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced na-SEE-mah (IPA: /naˈsiːma/).

Naseemah is Arabic in Origin.

Naseemah is an Arabic feminine given name formed from nasīm (نسيم), “breeze, gentle wind, breath of fresh air,” with the feminine ending -a(h). In classical and modern poetry across Arabic and Persian, the breeze symbolizes serenity, subtle charm, and welcome news, so the name carries connotations of softness, renewal, and grace.

Used throughout the Arabic-speaking world and the wider Persianate and Ottoman spheres, it appears across North Africa, the Levant and Gulf, as well as in South Asia and East Africa among Muslim communities. Variants reflect transliteration traditions: Nasima, Naseema, Nasimah, Nassema, and Nesima; Turkish Nesime; Maghrebi French spellings Nacima or Nacéma. The final -h in Naseemah preserves the classical ta marbūṭa. A closely related or masculine counterpart is Nasim/Naseem. Today the name feels timeless and cosmopolitan, evoking a gentle, refreshing presence.
