The first name Washim is characteristic of Western Asia, particularly Oman, where it is quite a rare dominantly masculine, but infrequently feminine name, Qatar, where it is quite a rare masculine name, and Saudi Arabia, where it is quite a rare principally masculine, but very seldom feminine name. In absolute terms, it is the most numerous in India, Bangladesh, and Saudi Arabia. Much less frequently, Washim is the last name as well as the forename.
