Khiram is in Origin.

Khiram traces to the Northwest Semitic personal name Ḥīrām/Chīrām, known from Phoenician and Biblical Hebrew. The initial consonant ḥet is sometimes rendered as kh to reflect its guttural sound, yielding Khiram alongside the more familiar Hiram and Chiram. The meaning is tied to the root rām “high, exalted”; scholars read it either as “exalted, noble” or as a shortened form of Aḥīrām, “my brother is exalted.”

The name figures prominently in antiquity through Hiram I, king of Tyre, an ally of David and Solomon, and through the craftsman Hiram (Huram) of Tyre who fashioned temple furnishings - associations later amplified in Masonic tradition as Hiram Abiff. In English, Hiram enjoyed periodic use in the 18th–19th centuries, especially in the United States, but is now uncommon; Khiram appears chiefly in transliteration-rich contexts. Variants and related forms include Hiram, Chiram, Hirom, Huram, and Ahiram/Ahiram.
