Scholars dislike this name
Uthaymah is from 'ithm' (sin) and means 'little sinful one'. A name meaning sin is clearly unsuitable; the Prophet ﷺ is reported to have changed names with bad meanings.
اثیمہ لفظ 'اثم' (گناہ) سے ہے اور اس کا مطلب 'چھوٹی گناہگار' ہے۔ گناہ والا معنی بالکل مناسب نہیں؛ نبی ﷺ برے معنی والے نام بدل دیتے تھے۔
