Tamim is Arabic in Origin.

Tamim is an Arabic masculine name, written تميم and more precisely transliterated Tamīm. Its earliest recognizable form is the Arabic adjective tamīm, already visible as a personal and tribal name in early Islamic-era records. The word belongs to the Semitic root t-m-m, expressed in Arabic by tamma, to be complete, and tamām, completion. As a name, it carries the sense complete, whole, sound, or unimpaired.

The name is associated with Banū Tamīm, a major tribal confederation of central and eastern Arabia, and with Tamīm al-Dārī, a companion of the Prophet Muhammad. It has remained in Arabic-speaking Muslim naming practice and appears beyond the Arab world through Islamic culture, including South Asia. English spellings vary because the final long vowel may be shown as Tamim, Tameem, or Tamīm. In the United States it is uncommon, with records showing modest use from the 1990s and a small peak in the 2010s.
