Erazma
From the Greek *erasmios*, a word for someone loved and wanted. It stays rare in Poland, so most people have never met a girl who carries it.
Erazma Pronunciation
Erazma is pronounced e-RAHZ-mah (/ɛˈrazma/).
What Erazma means
Where Erazma comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Erazma comes from Greek. The root is erasmios (ἐράσμιος), which meant beloved and desired, a word of open affection rather than rank. The cross-gender form Erazm holds the same root, and both belong to the family of Erasmus, borne by the fourth-century Saint Erazm of Formia and by Erazm of Rotterdam, the humanist and editor of Latin texts.
For anyone named Erazma, that Greek sense of being wanted sits in the record first. It is a plain meaning. The name does not dress a virtue up or point to a place. It states that someone was welcome.
On a Polish class register, Erazma stands apart from the Annas and Katarzynas, less common and easy to spot. Its name-day follows Saint Erazm, kept on 2 June in the Polish calendar. Whatever a bearer makes of it, the origin holds firm: erasmios, beloved and desired.
