Meaning and origin of Haakimah
Haakimah is the feminine of ḥākim, meaning a ruler or judge. The same root gives Arabic its word for wisdom, ḥikma, and also al-Ḥakīm, the All-Wise, which is one of the names of God. The name therefore carries a sense of good judgement joined with rightful authority. It is rarer than the related Hakima, which means a wise woman, and the English spellings of the two are often mixed up by parents and name lists alike.
