Meaning and history
Hyrum is an English-language variant of Hiram, a biblical masculine name of uncertain Hebrew or Phoenician origin, often interpreted as “exalted brother.” In the Hebrew Bible, Hiram is the king of Tyre who supplies materials and craftsmen for Solomon’s Temple. The spelling Hyrum is especially associated with Latter-day Saint communities through Hyrum Smith, brother of Joseph Smith and an early church leader who was killed with him in 1844.
