What is the meaning of the name Amramu ?

Amramu is Hebrew in Origin.

Amramu is a Semitic masculine name best understood as the Akkadianized form of Hebrew ʿAmrām (Amram). In Akkadian, the final -u reflects the nominative case typical for male names recorded in cuneiform. The root elements ʿam (“people, kin”) and rām (“high, exalted”) yield meanings such as “exalted people,” “the people is exalted,” or “exalted kin.”

The form Amramu appears in Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian records as Am-ra-mu/Am-rā-mu, representing West Semitic bearers known in Israelite tradition as Amram - the father of Moses and Aaron - thus anchoring the name in the ancient Near East. While Amramu itself is rare in modern usage, the base name persists among Jewish communities as Amram. Cognate and variant forms include Amram (Hebrew/English), ʿAmrām (scholarly transliteration), and Arabic ʿImrān, widely rendered Imran or Omran. Related spellings without the Akkadian ending (Amram) are far more common in contemporary naming.
