Waryam (ਵਰਿਆਮ) is a Sikh boy's name of Punjabi origin.
A brave man, a hero
Waryam (ਵਰਿਆਮ) is an old Punjabi word for a brave man or hero, and the Mahan Kosh records it in that sense. It also notes a sixteenth-century chief of the Barar clan named Waryam. The name belongs to the rural, martial naming tradition of Punjab, alongside names such as Jodh and Bahadur. It is a boys' name in Sikh families. The Punjabi short-story writer Waryam Singh Sandhu, who received the Sahitya Akademi Award in 2000, is a well-known bearer.
