Abhiram meaning
Abhiram (अभिराम) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, अ, it is a Mesh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Pleasing, delightful, agreeable, beautiful; a name of Shiva
Also used to mean: handsome
Abhiram (अभिराम) comes from Sanskrit abhirāma, from abhi- and the verb ram, "to delight, to take pleasure". Monier-Williams gives it as an adjective meaning pleasing, delightful, agreeable or beautiful, and as a name of Śiva. The word is common in poetry, often describing a lovely face or scene. Name lists give Abhiram as "delightful", "pleasing" or "handsome", which match the dictionary. Some lists also read it as abhi + Rām, "pleasing to Rama"; the dictionary treats it as a single word, though the echo of Rāma's name is part of its appeal. It is used in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
In Hindu tradition this is a name of Shiva.
