Name meaning and origin
Hakim derives from the Arabic root hikma and carries the meaning of a person who does everything properly and wisely. In everyday use the word also entered Azerbaijani with the meaning of physician, since in the classical period those deeply versed in knowledge also practiced medicine. The name rests on a root distinct from the Arabic word hakim (ruling, judging) and carries a different meaning.
Al-Hakim is one of the 99 beautiful names of Allah and means One who does everything with wisdom, but as a personal name Hakim is never used with the article Al-; it simply points to a person's wisdom. The word also appears as an adjective describing the Quran itself in verse 36:2 of Surah Yasin.
