Meaning and origin of Azeem
Azeem is how South Asians usually spell ʿAẓīm, meaning 'great' or 'mighty', from the root ʿ-ẓ-m. The spelling comes from Urdu and Persian, where the Arabic ẓ sounds like z. Because al-ʿAẓīm, the Magnificent, is counted among God's names, many families prefer the fuller form ʿAbd al-ʿAẓīm. Even so, Azeem by itself is common as a descriptive name, and Azim is the usual spelling in Central Asia and Malaysia.
