Efram is of Hebrew origin and means "fruitful." It's derived from the Hebrew word "efrayim," which is one of the names of the sons of Joseph in the Bible. Efram was popularized by its use in the King James Version of the Bible, where it is translated as Ephraim. The name has a unique sound and offers an alternative spelling to the more common Ephraim. It's not typically found among the top rankings of popular baby names but does appear occasionally, making it a distinctive choice for parents looking for something less common yet with biblical roots.
"Efram experienced its peak popularity between 1967 and 1970, with a slight resurgence in 2012."
