Ἀράμ G0689
Aram -- a proper name in the genealogy of Jesus, corresponding to Hebrew Ram (son of Hezron)
Aram is the Greek indeclinable form of the Hebrew name Ram (ram, 'exalted'), appearing in the Matthean and Lukan genealogies of Jesus. In Matt 1:3-4 he is named as the son of Hezron and father of Amminadab, placing him in the direct Judahite line from Perez to David (cf. Ruth 4:19; 1 Chr 2:9-10). Luke 3:33 presents textual variants -- some manuscripts read Arni or Admin alongside Aram -- reflecting the well-known complexities of the Lukan genealogical tradition. The name is rendered uniformly across languages: Spanish Aram, French Aram (with Admin as a variant), German Aram, confirming its status as a simple proper noun.
