Meaning & Origin
A city in Cache County, Utah, United States.
Hyrum is a boy's baby name most strongly associated with Latter-day Saint (Mormon) tradition, derived from the Hebrew Hiram, meaning 'exalted brother' or 'noble.' In Latter-day Saint history, Hyrum Smith was the older brother of founder Joseph Smith and is revered as a martyr who died alongside Joseph in 1844.
Hyrum is almost exclusively used within LDS communities, where it honors this deeply significant figure. With over 3,000 recorded births in U.S. SSA data, it has maintained steady use for generations, a testament to the enduring devotion to Hyrum Smith's memory within the faith.
