The words Hâkim, Hakam and Hakîm both derived from the same root ح ك م , but Hakam is a verbal noun which emphasizes the delivery of justice, while Hakîm is a noun which indicates the essential nature of the possessor of hikmah, and Hâkim is a noun which indicates the essential nature of the possessor of rule and decree (Hukm).
