Graheme is English, Scottish in Origin.

Graheme is a modern, rare spelling of the Scottish surname-derived given name Graham, usually pronounced GRAY-əm. The surname traces to the Anglo-Norman introduction into Scotland from the English place Grantham (Lincolnshire), whose Old English elements are debated but commonly interpreted as "gravelly homestead" or "grey home." In Scots and English records, Graham/Grahame appears from the 12th century in clan contexts; the powerful Clan Graham produced figures like James Graham, 1st Marquess of Montrose.

As a forename, Graham rose in Britain by the 19th century and spread to the Commonwealth and the United States, with renewed US popularity in the 2010s. Variants include Graham (standard), Grahame (literary), and Graeme (Scottish), while Grahme and Graheme are hybrid or ornamental forms. Short forms Gray and Gram occur. The spelling Graheme preserves the soft vowel of Graeme while echoing the traditional -hame ending.
