Abiram—a personal name applied to two Israelite men in the Hebrew Bible. Functionally, the name means 'the (my) father is exalted' based on the Hebrew semantic structure of personal names. While the precise implication may reference divine exaltation or honor/standing, the contextual use is that of a proper noun, not a common noun or descriptive title.
