Sakharam meaning
Sakharam (सखाराम) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Marathi usage).
Rama the friend (sakhā 'friend, companion' + Rāma)
Sakharam (सखाराम) joins Sanskrit sakhā, which Monier-Williams gives as a friend, assistant or companion, to Rāma, the hero-god of the Ramayana. It belongs to a family of older Marathi names ending in -rām, such as Atmaram, Sitaram and Tukaram, which put the god's name together with a word of devotion or closeness. It is a Marathi name; one well-known bearer was Sakharam Bapu Bokil, a minister of the Peshwas. One name list links it with sākhar, "sugar", but that is a different Marathi word.
