What is the meaning of the name Bramah ?

Bramah is English in Origin.

Bramah is an older English transliteration of Sanskrit Brahmā, name of the Hindu creator deity. It ultimately derives from Brahman, the concept of ultimate reality or sacred power, linked to roots meaning “to grow, to expand.” As a given name, Bramah therefore carries connotations of creation, vastness, wisdom, and the supreme spirit. In South Asia the theonym is venerated and only seldom used as a personal name, but it appears sporadically in diasporic or spiritually oriented contexts.

In 18th–19th century Anglophone writing, Bramah was a common spelling; modern scholarship standardizes Brahma. The name also exists independently as an English surname - borne by the inventor Joseph Bramah (1748–1814) - which has occasionally inspired use as a first name. Variants and cognates include Brahma, Brahmaa, and Brahm; Bram sometimes functions as a short form (more often for Abraham). Usage today is rare and stylistically distinctive, primarily masculine.
