What is the story behind your username/pen name?
Recently I have seen some super cool usernames that clearly have a story behind them. Ever wanted to share that story? Now's your chance! Anything goes, as long as it's over 15 words!

Reed
'Qalam' comes from the Greek kalamos meaning "reed" or "pen". In Islam, the reed is a symbol of wisdom likely because it is associated with writing and calligraphy. Quite literally then, it is a 'pen-name'. Truthfully, I should have chosen something akin to 'pencil' if only that is what I chiefly write and draw with as can be attested by by Deviant Art profile (Qalam87). And that is all there pretty much is to Qalam's origin story. Fortunately, no uncles were killed.
