Meaning and origin of Adeem
The root a-d-m can refer to the outer surface of a thing, and adim is the word for that surface. Classical Arabic speaks of adim al-ard, the face of the earth, and adim al-sama, the broad expanse of the sky. Some name lists say it means rare or unique, but that does not fit the Arabic and seems to come from confusion with a similar word meaning lacking.
