What Karima means
Where Karima comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Karima is filed under a Hebrew origin, yet the name made its life in Arabic-speaking lands. There it stands beside the word karīm, meaning generous and noble, and the feminine form holds that sense. In Arabic the same root gives al-Karím, glossed as the Generous, counted among the names of God. A Karima is read as open-handed.
The name keeps no diminutive. Polish records show no shortened pet form, nothing to soften on a school class register. Karima appears whole or not at all.
Say it slowly and the three beats stay even, Ka-ri-ma. On an official form at the urząd the name is written in full. Beside it, in a dictionary of names, the same two words wait: generous, noble.
