Hyram is an ancient Hebrew name that has been passed down through generations. It means "exalted by the Lord" and was likely used more frequently during biblical times. Today, Hyram is considered a classic yet uncommon name, offering a unique touch without being overly unusual.
The name Hyram appears to have had periods of popularity and decline over the past century. The highest number of births occurred in 1923 with 10 babies named Hyram. However, this peak was not sustained, as the next five years saw a decrease to single-digit numbers, with some years even returning to the initial level of five births. After a significant gap between 1940 and 2013, there was another resurgence in popularity, with consistent numbers ranging from five to eight births annually until the most recent year recorded, 2022. Overall, there have been a total of 66 births named Hyram since 1915.
