Gersham Origin and Meaning

The name Gersham is a boy's name.

Gersham is a masculine name with Hebrew origins, likely a variant of Gershom, which appears in the Bible as the name of Moses's firstborn son. The biblical Gershom's name means "a stranger there" or "exile," reflecting Moses's status as a foreigner in the land where his son was born. Gersham is an uncommon spelling variation that gives the name a slightly different character while maintaining its biblical connections. The name has never been widely popular but carries the appeal of many biblical names—a sense of history and spiritual significance. Gersham might appeal to parents seeking a name with religious heritage that remains distinctive and uncommon.
