The Origin and Meaning of the Name Graehme

Graehme is a name that originated in Scotland and is derived from the Gaelic word "gram," which means "gravel" or "rocky ground." It is also related to the Old English word "grim," which means "fierce" or "strong."

In Scotland, the name Graehme was originally spelled "Graham" and was used as a surname. It was later adopted as a given name, particularly in the 19th century, when it became popularized by authors such as Sir Walter Scott, who featured characters with the name in his novels.

Today, Graehme is a less common variant of the name Graham, which is still widely used as both a surname and a given name. It has also been adopted as a given name in other English-speaking countries, where it is often associated with strength and resilience.
