brahm

Brahm is a term of Sanskrit origin that appears in Hindu and Indian philosophical literature. In transliteration, it may appear as Brahman, Brahmā, or Brahm, and in some contexts it is used as a variant spelling of related concepts such as Brahma or Brahman.

In Hindu philosophy, Brahman denotes the ultimate, unchanging reality that underlies and pervades the universe. It is described as infinite, formless, and the source of all that exists. Different schools articulate Brahman differently: Advaita Vedanta identifies Brahman with the true self and with pure consciousness; other traditions may distinguish Brahman as the personal or impersonal ultimate principle while recognizing many deities as facets or expressions of that One.

Distinctions: Brahma is the creator god in the Hindu Trimurti; Brahman is the broader metaphysical principle; Brahm is a transliteration variant found in some texts. The standalone use of “Brahm” is relatively uncommon in standard Sanskrit scholarship but can appear in certain editions or language traditions.

In modern times, Brahm also appears as a given name or surname in various cultures, separate from its religious meanings. As a name, it is used in biographical contexts and does not denote a single shared attribute beyond its linguistic origin.
