Yes, Karam is an Indian name, commonly used in various communities, particularly among Punjabis and Sikhs. It is a unisex name, meaning “grace,” “kindness,” or “favor” in Hindi, Punjabi, and Arabic. In India, it’s often used as a first name or surname, and it holds cultural significance, especially in Sikhism, where it can be associated with divine grace or blessings. For example, it appears in Sikh scriptures like the Guru Granth Sahib, referring to God’s kindness. The name is also used in other cultures, like Arabic-speaking regions, but it’s well-established in India.

No, Alkallas is not an Indian name. It appears to be a rare Arabic-origin surname, most commonly found in Egypt and other North African countries, where it means “the person that is immigrating” or “the person that is leaving a certain place” (from Arabic “Alqalla”).  It has minimal to no presence or cultural association in India, unlike similar-sounding names like “Alka” (a common Indian girl’s first name of Sanskrit origin meaning “curl” or “lock of hair”).
