The name of this month is Aläm - ዓለም sometimes also written in Amharic characters as 
አለም and transliterated in Latin letters as ALEM.
The meaning is "world" or “the world” and is a noun that can be used as a name for men or women and it’s very often found in combination with another word to form a two-element name.
