Help[Opinions] Ahtem / Akhtem
What's your opinions on this name? I like it a lot, so I thought I'd ask the community and see what other people think about it.
Ahtem and Akhtem are the same name transcripted different. It's a Crimean Tatar (if you don't know what Crimean Tatars are, think Turkish but a little different) name that means "black, dark" derived from Arabic أدهم (ādham).
I don't know how it's pronounced in Crimean Tatar, but in Ukrainian it's pronounced AHKH-tehm (kh is like h but heavier). The English pronounciation would be AH-tehm.

I haven't heard of it before, and I like it, it sounds mysterious. I've just added it to my PNL. I'm also fond of names from other Russian minority languages like Altai, Tatar, Ingush, Veps, etc. They have quite a whimsical vibe.
I've never heard this name before. It sounds pleasant enough. I like the meaning of black/ dark.
