What does Aram mean?

Calm, peaceful, tranquil

In Turkish: sakin, huzurlu, dingin

When connected with the Kurdish and Persian word, Aram evokes tranquillity and repose. Armenian historical and narrative tradition also contains an independent personal name with the same spelling. These explanations should remain distinct; the name alone does not establish which linguistic tradition was intended.
