About Dharma
In Buddhism, Dharma embodies the basic principles of cosmic existence--making it a fitting name for the hippyish character on the sitcom Dharma and Greg, whose middle name was Freedom.
Students of Beat literature will be familiar with the name via part of the title of a Jack Kerouac novel, Dharma Bums.
Dharma tends to evoke the feeling of good karma.
Dharma is also given to boys.
Pronounced DAR-muh.
As of October 2026, Dharma ranked #8414 in US births in 2023 SSA, peaked at #4555 in 1976.
