Iram
Iram Origin and Meaning
Iram is a masculine name with roots in multiple cultures. In Arabic tradition, it means 'paradise' or refers to an ancient city mentioned in the Quran. In Hebrew contexts, it can mean 'city dweller' or 'belonging to a city.' The name also appears in Indian communities where it may be derived from Sanskrit elements. Iram has moderate usage in Middle Eastern, South Asian, and Muslim communities worldwide but remains relatively uncommon in Western countries. The name carries connotations of history and spiritual significance, particularly in Islamic traditions where Iram is associated with the legendary 'Iram of the Pillars,' a city of great beauty and prosperity. Its simplicity and meaningful heritage make it appealing to parents seeking a name with cultural depth.
