A boys’ name of Sanskrit origin, meaning pleasing; a Hindu deity.
Ram by the numbers
In 2025, 20 babies in England and Wales were named Ram. In the US, 43 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given noticeably more often in England and Wales than in the US.
Its best year in America so far is the most recent one on record, which means it was still climbing when the records end.
