Language and spelling
Ehtisham and Ihtisham are renderings of احتشام. The Arabic noun describes modesty, decorum or a reserved manner. It contains the Arabic letter ح, so an unrelated spelling with different consonants should not be offered as its root merely because the English sound seems similar.
