About the name Kaleem
Kaleem belongs to the Muslim & Arabic tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Kaleem first appears in Social Security records in 1977. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #3626 in 1995, and in 2024 12 babies received the name — 446 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
