حكيمة: ذات الحكمة والرأي الصائب
Hakimah (حكيمة) is an established Arabic female given name formed from the root ḥ‑k‑m — the semantic field of wisdom, judgement and wise counsel. The same root gives the divine attribute Al‑Ḥakīm (الْحَكِيم) and the noun ḥikmah (حِكْمَة), which appears in the Quran (see 2:269 where Allah grants wisdom). As a personal name it signals prudence and learned judgement and has been used historically across the Muslim world, including South Asia. Related names and lexical cousins include [[Hakima]], [[Hikmah]] and [[Hakim]] (masculine). In South Asian onomastic practice the form Hakimah/Hakima appears in family registries and biographical records, typically without implying a specific historical figure. Its classical Arabic provenance makes it suitable for families seeking a traditional Islamic name that emphasizes wisdom without being highly common.
