Wassim

Commonly explained in Arabic usage as ‘handsome’ or ‘well-featured’.

Wassim is a masculine Arabic-origin name used across Arabic-speaking regions and internationally. In everyday explanations it’s commonly associated with the sense of being handsome or well-featured, which is one reason it remains recognizable and straightforward in meaning. Etymologically, Wassim is often linked to the Arabic form وسيم (wasīm). When written in Latin letters, it’s also commonly seen as Wasim; both spellings appear in passports and official records depending on local transliteration habits. Pronunciation in English is often wah-SEEM. A practical tip is to stress the second syllable and to be consistent about your preferred Latin spelling when registering the name.
