Karim means: great and generous, magnanimous, and is one of the names of God
As such most moslems revere the name and put the prefix Abdul in front of it (Abdul Karim)meaning servant of Karim(God)
I am half Persian and we do not usually add the prefix....I think it is a sunni-shiite thing..anyway it is not too common :wink:
My Enlish name is Mark so Karim Mark...Mirak

I'm not sure really

when abdul is the prefix yes but as it comes after in this case it seems to me it is Karim servant of Jabbar

I don't know what Jabbar means...some of the moslem names used by black people in the US dont follow the meanings so much as ..the "that sounds cool" philosophy maybe...

my name has two different stems.

one stems from the most fantastic song written by radiohead, from the OK Computer album.

The other stems from The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, which has the character, Marvin, the paranoid android, as mkatfield showed to me.

I wrote the name mainly based off of radiohead though. Mkatfield called me Marvin in a game, and then i realized the second origin of my name.

I'm 1/4 Serbian, and "Serbia" sounds better than England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, or Hungary, the nationalities that make up the rest of me.
