Graham, a Scottish surname-turned-given-name, originally comes from the English place name Grantham, which is believed to mean "gravelly homestead" in Old English. Graham has been listed in the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 for boy names every year since 1902, but has only recently grown popular and has now been a top-200 boy's name every year since 2014. It's also the name actress-singer Jenna Ushkowitz gave her son, born in 2024.
