Ahiram, personal name meaning 'brother of the lofty' (son of Benjamin, ancestor of the Ahiramite clan)
Ahiram was one of Benjamin's sons, ancestor of the Ahiramite clan listed in Numbers 26:38. The name combines "brother" with an element meaning "lofty" or "exalted," possibly referring to God or expressing high status. He appears to be the same individual called Ehi in Genesis 46:21 and Aharah in 1 Chronicles 8:1, illustrating the textual variations common in biblical genealogies. His descendants formed one of Benjamin's recognized clans in the wilderness census.
