Efrim
Efrim Origin and Meaning
Efrim is a variant spelling of Ephraim, a masculine name with Hebrew origins meaning 'fruitful' or 'productive.' In the Bible, Ephraim was the second son of Joseph and founded one of the twelve tribes of Israel. This alternative spelling gives the traditional name a more phonetic and contemporary feel. Efrim is relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, making it a distinctive choice. The name carries historical significance in Jewish traditions, where Ephraim represents blessing and abundance. The variant spelling Efrim has gained some usage in Eastern European communities and among families seeking biblical names with a slightly modernized form. Despite its ancient origins, the name has a crisp, modern sound that works well internationally while maintaining its meaningful biblical connections.
