What Guram means

Where Guram comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.

Guram is a Georgian name for a boy, and its meaning arrives from outside the language. That sense, "victorious," is a borrowing from the Persian name Bahram rather than a native Georgian root. Bahram descends from Verethragna, the Iranian figure of victory honored in the old Zoroastrian world. Along that path the idea of triumph reached Georgian speech and fastened to Guram.

In Georgia the name stays common. Writers have carried it, among them the novelist Guram Dochanashvili, whose books are read in schools there. To a Georgian ear the sound is plain, two short syllables and done.

Read out from a class register in Poland, Guram would sound foreign, and it would sound complete. The meaning stays with it, "victorious," handed down from Bahram.
