About the name Nor Hakim

Nor Hakim is built from two parts. Nur (also spelled Nor, Noor or Nurul) is an element commonly placed before girls' names and means light. The spelling Nor is common in official records. The second part, Hakim, means 'wise'. Nor is usually given to girls and Hakim to boys, so the combination is treated as unisex. This combination is used in Malaysia.
