- Comment from the people in my area... it seems that Kassim is more likely... (assuming there is no other Arabic name that also transliterates to "Kassim")

- There's Kazem, a different name which is capable of causing confusion. SamuelTheGhost ( talk) 10:44, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
- Basing this on
WP:RS, as one should, here are two which give the spelling as "Qasim":
- Salahuddin Ahmed (1999). A Dictionary of Muslim Names. London: Hurst & Company.
- S. A. Rahman (2001). A Dictionary of Muslim Names. New Delhi: Goodword Books.
- SamuelTheGhost ( talk) 23:22, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
- The article Romanization of Arabic gives numerous transliteration schemes, but in all of them the letter ( Arabic: ق), becomes "Q" except for colloquial Arabic, where "G" is sometimes an alternative. But never "K", which corresponds to a different Arabic letter. SamuelTheGhost ( talk) 21:46, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
