The name Achim is a boy's name meaning "He will establish; he will raise".

Achim can be considered a German short form of the Biblical Joachim, though it can also be a name in its own right. It means "he will establish" or "he will raise", depending on if it is seen as a contracted form of Jehoiachin or as a shorted form of Jehoiakim, both sources of Joachim. An ancestor of Jesus in the New Testament, Achim also entered the UK Top 1000 in 2022.  Notable bearers include writer Achim von Arnim, environmentalist Achim Steiner, and musician Achim Reichel.
