Meaning and origin of Hakim
Hakim, ḥakīm in Arabic, means wise. God is called al-Ḥakīm, the All-Wise, and many men carry the longer form ʿAbd al-Ḥakīm, servant of the All-Wise. Over time, speakers of Persian, Urdu and Turkish gave the word a second meaning of physician, particularly a doctor of traditional medicine. Among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ was Ḥakīm ibn Ḥizām, whose aunt was Khadīja, so the name has early roots as well.
