Naseema meaning
Naseema (نسیمہ) is a Muslim girl's name of Arabic origin.
A gentle wind, a breeze; also a scent carried on the air
Also used to mean: gentle breeze, soft wind, fragrance
Naseema (نسیمہ) is the feminine form of Naseem, from Arabic nasīm and the root n-s-m. Lane's lexicon gives nasīm as a gentle wind or breeze, the first breath of a wind before it grows strong, and also a scent carried on the air. Urdu poetry is full of nasīm-e-sahar, the breeze of dawn. Name lists give Naseema as "gentle breeze" or "sweet scent", both found in the dictionary. Naseem is used for boys and girls in India; Naseema, also spelled Nasima, is the clearly feminine form.
