Aram is a popular Armenian name with a pleasing sound that became known in this country through the works of William Saroyan, namely the 1940 book of short stories, My Name in Aram, centering on Aram Garoghlanian, a boy of Armenian descent growing up in Fresno, California. Saroyan also named his son Aram. 
 Aram also appears in the bible as a son of Shem and grandson of Noah; it is also a biblical place name. 
 
While it is best known as an Armenian and Biblical name, meaning "child of the sun" or "highly elevated", Aram is in fact a more multicultural choice than that. It also has its roots in Kurdish and Persian where it means "calm, peaceful, repose", and in Thai, where it relates to the words for temple and monastery, glittering and illuminating.
 A well known bearer is Aram Khachaturian, the Armenian composer, while Aram is also the third day of the month in the Armenian calendar.
