What is the meaning of the name Ahiram ?

Ahiram is Hebrew in Origin.

A West Semitic name, Ahiram comes from Hebrew/Phoenician Aḥiram (אחירם), built from ahi- “my brother” + rām “exalted, high,” giving the sense “my brother is exalted” or “exalted brother.” The Ahi- prefix is common in biblical kinship names, and rām conveys dignity and height.

It appears in the Hebrew Bible as a Benjamite clan ancestor (Numbers 26:38), and in Phoenicia as King Ahiram of Byblos, whose sarcophagus bears an early Phoenician inscription. Spelling often converged with Hiram/Chiram/Huram - the name of the Tyrian king allied with David and Solomon and famed in Masonic lore - so variants include Hiram, Chiram, Huram, Ahirom, and Achiram. Modern use is rare but persists in scholarly and heritage contexts.
