Bahram or Vahram or Behram (Persian: بهرام), variant Bahran or Vahran (Uzbek: Баҳром, Bahrom and Tajik: Баҳром, Bahrom) meaning "smiting of resistance" or "victorious", is a Persian male given name.

The older form is Vahrām (Middle Persian: 𐭥𐭫𐭧𐭫𐭠𐭭, in Latin: Varrames), also spelled Wahrām, literally meaning "smiting of resistance" or "victorious". It is the name of several prominent figures in pre-Islamic Persia.

In the Pahlavi language (Middle Persian), Bahram is another name of the Zoroastrian divinity Verethragna in Avestan language, that is the hypostasis of victory and represents the planet Mars.
