The story of the Saleem surname
Saleem is an Arabic-origin Muslim name used widely across Sindh and South Asia. It may be a family surname, but it does not reveal tribe, caste, nukh, or town by itself. If a Saleem family identifies as Sindhi, the archive should attach the record to the family’s actual place and community memory rather than inventing a lineage from the Arabic name.
