Hiram

Ancient Phoenician ruler

Hiram is a masculine given name of Hebrew origin, borne in the Bible by a king of Tyre who aided Solomon in building the temple.

The name was popular among early American Protestants and retains a traditional, somewhat old-fashioned quality: Hiram was my great-grandfather's name.

It appears in Freemasonry as Hiram Abiff, a legendary craftsman central to Masonic ritual.
