Shivram meaning
Shivram (शिवराम) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Śiva and Rāma together; the name of various authors and other men
Also used to mean: Shiva and Rama
Shivram (शिवराम) brings together the names of two gods, Śiva and Rāma; rāma on its own means pleasing or charming in Sanskrit. Monier-Williams records śivarāma as the name of various authors and other men, which shows how old the pairing is. Name lists explain Shivram as a union of Shiva and Rama, or as a devotee of both. The name is carried by the revolutionary Shivaram Rajguru, executed with Bhagat Singh in 1931, and by the Kannada novelist K. Shivaram Karanth. Southern spellings include Shivaram and Sivaram.
