Names Ending in M for Boys

Azzam might be open to some "shazam" teasing.

Azzam

A name from Persian mythology, Bahram is a strong option, associated with a Zoroastrian god of war. Subsequently, it has been used as the Persian name for the planet Mars, making this an astronomical option too. 
 
Used throughout history on leaders and poets, other forms of the name include the Uzbek Bahran or Vahran, the Tajik Bahrom, and Turkish Behram. The name appears on a hero in the Shahnameh, an epic Iranian poem.

Bahram

Last in fashion in the 1930s, Bertram might once have been firmly in the best left in the past category, but with sweet nickname Bertie and the cool option of Bram, Bertram might just be one to reconsider. Fitting in with other clunky vintage options like Chester, Sidney, Abram, Ebenenzer, and Wilfred, Bertram is a literary option, appearing as the full first name of P.G. Wodehouse's inimitable Bertie Wooster and on a character in Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well.
 
Not to be confused with Bertrand (though the two often do get conflated), Bertram is derived from Old German and has the stylish and mystical meaning of "bright raven". A nature and bird inspired choice, it has a hint of Halloween about it too, thanks to the raven link.
 
Bertram briefly entered the UK charts in the 1990s, and ranked in Denmark up until 2016, which in the US, a recent year saw it given to just 10 boys. In England and Wales, it was chosen for 9 boys, placing it alongside Blaise, Boston, Gordon, Gunnar, and Oakes.

Dylam

Elham is a masculine name of Persian and Arabic origin meaning 'inspiration' or 'intuition.' In Persian culture, the name carries connotations of divine inspiration and creative insight. In Arabic contexts, Elham is connected to the concept of receiving inspiration from Allah. The name is used across several Middle Eastern and North African countries, including Iran, Iraq, and parts of North Africa. While traditionally more common for boys in Middle Eastern cultures, it sometimes appears as a feminine name in certain regions. Elham has a melodious sound with its flowing 'el' beginning and soft ending. Though not widely used in Western countries, it has gained some recognition through diaspora communities and increasing cultural exchange.
