Ephrym Origin and Meaning

The name Ephrym is a boy's name.

Ephrym is a masculine name that serves as a variant spelling of Ephraim, which has ancient Hebrew origins meaning "fruitful" or "productive." In the Bible, Ephraim was the second son of Joseph and became the founder of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. This alternative spelling maintains the name's biblical gravitas while giving it a slightly different visual presentation. Ephrym has remained quite rare in English-speaking countries, even as the traditional Ephraim has experienced modest usage among religious communities. The name carries connotations of abundance and blessing while offering the friendly nickname options of Eph or Rym. Its distinctive spelling may appeal to parents seeking a name with deep historical and spiritual roots but with a unique presentation that sets it apart from more common biblical names.
