Bahram

Bahram is a Persian given name and surname. The name is of Persian origin and is widely used in Iran and Persian-speaking communities. It is best known from historical and literary figures, most notably Bahram Gur, the legendary Sassanian king of the Shahnameh, commonly referred to as Bahram V. Another prominent bearer is Bahram Chobin, a Sasanian general who rebelled against Khosrow II and ruled briefly as king in the late 6th century.

In modern times, Bahram is used as a masculine given name and, less often, as a surname. Variants and related forms include Behram and Bahrami, the latter often found as a surname in Iran and the diaspora.

The name appears across Iranian historical and cultural contexts, and it remains in use among Persian-speaking communities and in the broader Middle Eastern and Central Asian regions.
