Ram is a Hebrew proper name appearing in two distinct genealogical contexts. First and most prominently, Ram is the son of Hezron and father of Amminadab in the lineage running from Judah to David (Ruth 4:19; 1 Chr 2:9-10), making him an ancestor of the Messiah. Second, a son of Jerahmeel bore the same name (1 Chr 2:25, 27). The name also identifies Elihu's clan in Job 32:2, though some scholars regard this as a separate designation. Cross-lingual evidence is uniform: Spanish, French, and German all render it simply as Ram, confirming its status as an untranslatable proper noun.
