 Aram
      n : the biblical name for ancient Syria

From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 Aram
    the son of Shem (Gen. 10:22); according to Gen. 22:21, a
    grandson of Nahor. In Matt. 1:3, 4, and Luke 3:33, this word is
    the Greek form of Ram, the father of Amminadab (1 Chr. 2:10).
      The word means high, or highlands, and as the name of a
    country denotes that elevated region extending from the
    northeast of Palestine to the Euphrates. It corresponded
    generally with the Syria and Mesopotamia of the Greeks and
    Romans. In Gen. 25:20; 31:20, 24; Deut. 26:5, the word "Syrian"
    is properly "Aramean" (R.V., marg.). Damascus became at length
    the capital of the several smaller kingdoms comprehended under
    the designation "Aram" or "Syria."

From: Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's)

 Aram, highness, magnificence, one that deceives; curse
