Sarima as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Sarima

What is the meaning of the name Sarima ?

The baby name Sarima is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /səˈriːmə/ (sah-REE-ma).

Sarima is Persian in Origin.

Sarima (suh-REE-mah) is a feminine given name with layered roots. In many cases it is treated as a streamlined variant of the Malay/Indonesian Sarimah, itself from Arabic Salīmah/Salima, derived from the Semitic S-L-M root meaning “safe, whole, at peace.” It is also used as a modern blend of Sara/Sarah (“princess” in Hebrew) with the melodic -ima ending, yielding a meaning often interpreted as “princess at peace” or “whole princess.”

Usage of Sarima is modern and cross-cultural: it appears in Southeast Asia through Islamic and Malay naming traditions, and internationally as a contemporary, lyrical coinage. Related and variant forms include Sarimah, Salima, Salma, and Salimah; diminutives include Sari and Rima. While not historically common in European records, the name has gained quiet visibility in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, appreciated for its soft consonants, accessible spelling, and resonant associations with peace, integrity, and gentle strength.
