Thinking about the name
Bram
Germanic origin
“A short, punchy name of Flemish/Dutch origin, meaning 'bramble' or referring to thorny plants, evoking nature and resilience. Bram gained literary prominence through Bram Stoker, author of Dracula, and carries a sophisticated, old-world charm. The name feels both vintage and contemporary, simple yet distinctive.”
