Keeping the name "Azeem"

Q: Can I use the name Azeem without using Abdul for any person? What about the name Aazam which in some dictionaries shows the meaning 'greatest'. But the greatest is Allah Ta'ala.

A:

1. Yes, though it is not advisable.

2. It is permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
