Kazem (also spelled Kadim, Kadhem, Kadhim, Kazim, Qazim or Cathum; written in , in Persian language: کاظِم) means "tolerant", "forgiving", and "having patience" is an Arabic male given name. Although the pronunciation of the Arabic letter Ẓāʾ is often closer to a strong "d" sound, given the prevalence of the name in Greater Iran, and subsequent cultural exchanges between Persia and India, Central Asia and Anatolia, the letter is commonly pronounced as Z. Thus the name's pronunciation differs based on location and consequently in its transcription. The most notable person to be awarded with this epithet was Musa al-Kazim, the seventh Shia Imam, who is revered by both Sunnis and Sufis too.
