The name Alam is derived from the Arabic word ‘alam,’ meaning ‘world’ or ‘universe.’ It is also connected to the Hebrew word ‘olam,’ which shares the same meaning. The name is popular in countries where Islam is observed and has been adopted in various other languages, including Urdu and Bengali. Over time, the use of the name Alam has remained consistent in its cultural significance, symbolizing wisdom and knowledge. It is an epithet for a distinguished man and is often found in names combined with other words, such as ‘Alam-al-Huda,’ an honorific title of the Prophet Muhammad.
