My brother is exalted
A variant of the Hebrew name Hiram, it is derived from the elements 'chi' (brother) and 'ram' (exalted). While Hiram is the traditional biblical form, the Hyrum spelling is particularly significant in Latter-day Saint history. It conveys a sense of familial honor and spiritual elevation.
