What the word means
A diminutive from kh-r-m, cutting through; Lisān lists Khuraym as a name.
Classical Arabic names often came from strong or striking things in the desert world; the name is loved for who carried it.
The literal sense is plain or unflattering; families choose this name because an honoured early Muslim bore it, not for its dictionary meaning.
