Aram
[ˈærəm]Meaning
From Hebrew, meaning "fortress, elevated place"; also means "calm" in Kurdish.
Background Story
Behind the Name gives three origins: in Kurdish it means "calm"; in Hebrew it comes from אַרְמוֹן (ʾarmon), "fortress, elevated place", and is the name of several Old Testament figures, including a son of Shem who was the ancestor of the Arameans; and in Armenian its meaning is uncertain, though the 5th-century historian Movses Khorenatsi named Aram as an ancient ancestor of the Armenian people. The English form comes from Latin Aram, itself borrowed from Biblical Hebrew אֲרָם (ʾăram). A famous bearer was the composer Aram Khachaturian (1903–1978).
