Originating from Germany, the first name 'Lam' is of Latin derivation, meaning 'helmet'. It is an unusual yet striking choice for a given name.
"The name Lam experienced a peak in popularity between 1977 and 1983, with the highest number of births recorded in 1983 at 27. However, since then, there has been a steady decline in its usage as seen by the consistently lower numbers up until 2022 where only 6 births were recorded. Overall, between 1977 and 2022, the name Lam was given to 541 newborns."
