Hiram

Hiram is a boy's baby name of Hebrew origin, from the Hebrew Chiram or Achir'am meaning 'my brother is exalted' or 'my brother is high.' In the Bible, Hiram was the king of Tyre who formed an alliance with David and Solomon, providing the cedar and skilled workers to build the Temple in Jerusalem.

Over 14,350 U.S. births are recorded. Hiram was a popular American name in the 19th century — President Ulysses S. Grant was born Hiram Ulysses Grant. It has a solid, old-school American character waiting for revival.
