Nazmi is an Arabic male given name that means "organizer, arranger" in Arabic. The name is also transliterated as Nadhmi (Arabic: نظمي), reflecting the pronunciation of the Arabic letter Ẓāʾ, which often sounds like a strong "d" in various spoken varieties of Arabic. This name carries connotations of orderliness and management, traits valued in many cultures.
The name Nazmi is used across several regions, including the Arab world, Turkey, and Albania. Its Turkish variant is nearly identical in both spelling and meaning, while the feminine form Nazmiye is common in Turkey. In Turkish naming conventions, ‘-iye‘ suffix often indicates the feminine counterpart, though the usage may vary.
Notable bearers of the name include Nadhmi Auchi, a British Iraqi businessman; Nazmi Avluca, a Turkish sports wrestler; Nazmi Bari (1929–2008), a Turkish tennis player; Nazmi Ziya Güran (1881–1937), a Turkish impressionist painter; Nazmi Mehmeti (1918–1995), an Albanian anti-communist from Macedonia; and Nadhmi Al-Nasr, a Saudi executive. The surname form exists as well, exemplified by Ali Nazmi (1878–1946), an Azerbaijani poet.
