What is the meaning of the name Shahram ?

The baby name Shahram is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ʃɑːˈrɑːm/ (shah-RAHM).

Shahram is Persian in Origin.

Shahram is a Persian masculine name formed from shahr (شهر) “city, realm, kingdom” + rām (رام) “peace, tranquility, joy,” elements with roots in Middle Persian and ultimately Avestan rāma-. The composite sense is often glossed as “peace/joy of the realm” or “one who brings calm to the community,” with poetic readings like “delight of the city.”

Attested in New Persian naming since the medieval period, it remains common in Iran and known across the wider Persianate world and diaspora. Modern visibility has been boosted by figures such as vocalist Shahram Nazeri, pop singer Shahram Shabpareh, and scientist Shahram Amiri. Variants include Shahrām (scholarly transliteration), Shahram (standard English), Shahrâm (Francophone), Shahraam (to mark the long ā), and the Tajik form Shahrom (Шаҳром). Related name-building elements appear in other compounds with shahr- and -rām.
