      Meaning of the first name Jehoram

      Origin

      Hebrew

      Meaning

      Yahweh is Exalted or Jehovah is High

      Variations

      Jehoash, Jehovah, Jeramee
      The name Jehoram originates from Hebrew, combining the elements Yeho, referring to Yahweh or Jehovah, and ram, meaning exalted or high. Thus, the name is often interpreted to mean Yahweh is exalted or Jehovah is high. It carries significant religious connotations, reflecting the elevation of God in the eyes of believers.

      In historical contexts, the name Jehoram is notably associated with several biblical figures, including a king of Judah and a king of Israel. The King Jehoram of Judah, who ruled from around 848 to 841 BCE, is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible for his struggles against neighboring nations and his eventual downfall. Similarly, King Jehoram of Israel, the son of Ahab, is recognized for his attempt to consolidate power in Israel and his conflicts with prophets and neighboring regions. These historical figures have contributed to the name's legacy, encapsulating themes of conflict, governance, and divine authority.

      In contemporary times, the name Jehoram remains relatively rare but can still be found among certain religious communities, particularly those with Jewish or Christian backgrounds. It is often chosen for its biblical significance and connection to faith. The name may also appear in various forms, such as Joram, which is a shortened version that has gained more popularity. While not widely used, Jehoram retains its authoritative presence, symbolizing a lineage of historical and spiritual importance.
