What is the meaning of the name Nasim ?

The baby name Nasim is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced {'ipa': '/naˈsiːm/', 'respelling': 'nah-SEEM (nuh-SEEM)'}.

Nasim is Arabic in Origin.

Nasim is an Arabic and Persian given name (Arabic نسيم, Persian نسیم) meaning “breeze” or “gentle wind,” evoking softness, freshness, and a life‑giving breath. It derives from the Semitic root n‑s‑m, “to breathe gently,” and can also suggest the fragrance carried on the air. The name is unisex: common for men in Arabic‑speaking and South Asian settings, and used for women as well - especially in Iran and parts of Central Asia.

Attested in classical Persian and Urdu verse and Sufi writings, nasīm often symbolizes grace or the dawn zephyr (nasim‑e sabā), which helped the name spread across the Persianate and Ottoman worlds. Major variants and transliterations include Naseem, Nassim, Nesim, and Nacim; related feminine forms are Nasima/Naseema and Persian Nasimeh. Do not confuse with Nazim/Nazeem (ناظم, “organizer”) or Hebrew Nissim (“miracles”).
