"Variant of Nachum"
The name Nuchem is commonly a male name from the "Hebrew" origin.
Nuchem is a Yiddish form of the Hebrew name Nachum, also written Nahum. The Hebrew root n-h-m carries the sense of comforting, and Nachum is the name of the prophet whose book is counted among the twelve in the Hebrew Bible. Ashkenazi communities used Yiddish forms such as Nuchem and Nochem alongside the Hebrew Nachum.
Nachum means "the Hebrew nachum comfort. The name is borne by a minor Hebrew prophet of the 7th century B.C. His prophecies are recorded in the Old Testament book of Nahum".
The pronunciation of Nuchem is NOO-khem.
