Atmaram meaning
Atmaram (आत्माराम) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Rejoicing in oneself or in the supreme spirit
Also used to mean: delighting in the soul
Atmaram (आत्माराम) is Sanskrit ātmārāma, made of ātman, "self, soul", and ārāma, "delight". Monier-Williams gives "rejoicing in one's self or in the supreme spirit", citing the Bhāgavata Purāṇa, where the word describes sages content within themselves. Baby-name lists give it as "delighting in the soul", matching the dictionary. Atmaram Pandurang, the physician and reformer who founded the Prarthana Samaj in Bombay in 1867, is a well-known bearer.
