Khayyam is of Persian origin, derived from the name of the renowned Iranian poet, mathematician, and astronomer Omar Khayyám. It translates to 'twin' or 'pair,' suggesting a harmonious balance or duality. This name gained global recognition through Elizabeth Browning's translation of the Rubáiyát, a collection of quatrains attributed to Khayyam, which popularized his work and his name in the Western world.
"Khayyam was chosen as a baby name for 10 children over two years, with five babies named in each of those years."
