Param is Sanskrit in Origin.

Param is an Indo-Aryan given name rooted in Sanskrit parama/param (परम), meaning “supreme,” “ultimate,” or “transcendent,” the superlative of para, “beyond.” In classical Sanskrit and later devotional literature, the term functions as an epithet of excellence and divinity, so as a personal name it signals aspiration toward the highest truth, virtue, or God.

The name has long currency across Hindu and Sikh communities; Sikh scripture (Guru Granth Sahib) frequently uses param in compounds for the Supreme. It is common in Punjab and North India and, via diaspora, in English-speaking countries. Usually masculine, it is sometimes used unisex. Variants and related forms include Paaram; the feminine Parama; and compounds such as Paramjit/Paramjeet, Paramvir, Paramdeep, and Paramesh/Parameshwara. Closely related theological terms are Paramatma (“Supreme Soul”) and Parameshvara (“Supreme Lord”), which inform the name’s elevated connotations.
