A name that means "white antelope, gazelle".

Reema (ريما) is the Arabic word for a white antelope or gazelle — symbols of grace and beauty in Arabic poetry. The same word in Sanskrit means "to flow" or "to flow with grace."

Reema is widely used across the Arab world and the South Asian diaspora. The Pakistani actress Reema Khan and the Saudi princess Reema bint Bandar (Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States) are notable bearers.

Where Reema stands.

Reema does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
