Historical Context
Aram has long been used as an Armenian masculine given name. In Armenian historical tradition, Aram is a celebrated ancestral figure, notably recorded by the medieval historian Movses Khorenatsi. The same spelling also appears in the Hebrew Bible, where Aram is an ancestral name and a term associated with the ancient Arameans.
