Iam is a modern American name with no fixed meaning; it is usually explained as a short form or respelling of Liam, while some parents read it as the biblical phrase "I am", the name God gives himself in the book of Exodus. It is still rare but growing fast: given to fewer than 20 boys a year a decade ago, Iam climbed from number 3028 in 2022 to number 1681 in 2025, its best rank so far.
