Meaning and origin of Rim
Rim is a French-influenced way of writing Reem, the white gazelle that Arabic poets praised again and again. French spelling uses a plain 'i' for the long 'ee' sound, so Rim and Reem sound exactly the same. This form is especially at home in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Lebanon, where French spelling habits run deep. Like Reem, it stands for grace, gentleness and lovely, dark eyes.
