Byram is English in Origin.

Byram is an English surname-turned-given name drawn from place-names in Yorkshire and Lancashire, closely related to Byrom and Byron. It derives from Old English byre “cattle-shed,” with the locative plural -um (byrum), yielding the sense “at the byres” or “dweller near the cattle enclosures.” As a forename it emerged in the Anglophone world in the 19th and early 20th centuries, following the wider fashion for adopting surnames as given names, and remains uncommon but recognizable.

Documented variants include Byrom, Byrum, Biram, and Byron. Diminutives like By are occasionally used. In multicultural settings, Byram can also reflect the Turkish name Bayram (a separate etymology from Persian/Turkic roots), meaning “festival” or “holiday.” Because of this dual path, the name may be understood either as a locative English heritage choice or as a celebratory Turkish cultural name.
