Jehoram is Hebrew in Origin.
The biblical name Jehoram represents Hebrew יְהוֹרָם, Yehoram, the fuller theophoric form behind shorter יוֹרָם, Yoram or Joram. Its root language is Biblical Hebrew: the opening יְהוֹ, Yeho-, is a prefixed form of the divine name YHWH, while רָם, ram, belongs to the Semitic root רום, r-w-m, to be high or rise. The literal sense is Yahweh is exalted or Yahweh is high.
In the Hebrew Bible, the name belongs most prominently to two ninth-century BCE kings: Jehoram of Judah, son of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoram of Israel, son of Ahab; 2 Kings also uses the contracted Joram. Other bearers include a Levitical teacher in Jehoshaphat’s reign. English Jehoram follows biblical translation tradition, whereas Jewish and modern Israeli usage favors Yehoram or Yoram, as in the singer and actor Yehoram Gaon.
