Ram
From Hebrew רָם, built on a root that means to rise: the sense kept here is "exalted". Only about 200 people in Poland carry it, nearly all men, so meeting one would stick with you.
Ram Pronunciation

What Ram means
Where Ram comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Ram comes from Hebrew רָם, built on a root that means to rise or be lifted up. The short meaning recorded here is "exalted," or in Polish wywyższony. The name has no diminutive and no variant spelling to soften it. One syllable, and it is done.
In the Hebrew Bible, Ram belongs to a line of ancestors. The Book of Ruth lists him in the genealogy that runs down to King David: Hezron fathered Ram, and Ram fathered Amminadab (Ruth 4:19). Because of that placement, a boy given this name stands inside a Jewish family record that predates almost every royal house Europe later produced. The meaning is exalted, and the biblical Ram sits high on the family tree by literal fact of lineage.
In modern Hebrew, Ram is an ordinary given name, worn by living Israelis and unremarkable on a class list. On a Polish dziennik it would read as short and foreign, three letters that a teacher pronounces once and remembers. What stays constant across both settings is the root itself: to be raised up, exalted, wywyższony.
