Vahram is an Armenian male given name of Persian origin, meaning "great" or "powerful". It is derived from the Old Iranian 'Vahra', which was a title for the Zoroastrian fire god Verethragna. The name has been used in Armenia since ancient times and was particularly popular among Armenian nobility during the medieval period. Vahram is also associated with several historical figures, including Vahram II (r. 475–481), a king of the Sasanian Empire who successfully defended his kingdom against invading Romans. In Armenia today, Vahram remains a beloved and respected name, often chosen for newborn sons in honor of its rich history and cultural significance.
Vahram is quite rare as a given name, with only five instances reported annually in 1975 and no other years listed.
