Amram (Hebrew: עַמְרָם) is a masculine name meaning "exalted nation" in Hebrew, derived from the elements ʿam ("people, nation") and rum ("to exalt"). In the Bible, Amram is the father of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, as recounted in the Book of Exodus. He is married to Jochebed, who is also described as his aunt in some biblical manuscripts (the Masoretic Text states she was his father's sister, while the Septuagint offers variant relationships).While the Bible provides limited narrative about Amram himself, he is celebrated for his faith in the Epistle to the Hebrews (Hebrews 11:23). His genealogy is attributed to the Priestly source within the Torah. The name appears in several English Bible translations and in the Latin Vulgate, and is occasionally used in modern times, particularly among Jewish communities and Christian families interested in biblical names. Variant forms include Ambram (Biblical Greek) and Imran (Urdu, relating to the father of Mary in the Quran).Notable BearersBeyond the biblical figure, notable men named Amram include Amram of Tiberias (3rd–4th century Jewish scholar) and Amram ben Sheshna (9th-10th century Gaon of the Talmudic academy of Sura).Key FactsMeaning: "exalted nation"Origin: HebrewType: First nameUsage Regions: Hebrew, English Bible, Latin Bible, Hebrew Bible
