Hashem origin and meaning

Uncertain — Arabic and Hebrew sources

Uncertain

Hashem sits between two live sources and neither can be claimed alone. As an Arabic name it is a spelling of Hashim, from hashim, 'crusher (of bread)', the Prophet Muhammad's great-grandfather's name. In Hebrew, HaShem, 'the Name', is the reverent substitute for the name of God — which makes Hashem a weighty choice in Jewish use as well. With both traditions in play, the meaning depends on the family.
