About Pam
This mild-mannered short form was Queen of the Prom in the fifties and sixties, but today is mostly heard on TV's The Office (and of course as one of the founders of Nameberry).
While about 100 baby girls are still named Pamela in the US every year, the name Pam is now officially extinct.
Pam is also given to boys.
Pronounced PAM.
As of October 2026, Pam ranked #3545 in US births in 1962 SSA, peaked at #2814 in 1960.
