Ajam is a word used in Persian and Arabic literature, but with different meanings.
In Arabic, Ajam (عجم) has two meanings: "non-Arab", and "Persian". Literally, it has the meaning "one who is illiterate in language", "silent", or "mute" and refers to non-Arabs in general. In the former sense, it is a neutral term meaning "stranger" or "foreign".
