Meaning and origin of Inaam
When someone grants a kindness or showers another with blessings, Arabic calls the act inʿām, and Inaam is that word as a name. The same root produces niʿma, meaning a blessing, and al-Munʿim, the One who bestows favour. South Asians mostly give Inam or Inaam to boys and build compounds from it, such as Inamullah and Inam-ul-Haq. Arab families, on the other hand, lean towards it for girls.
