Wasn't one of the boys in 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers' called Eaphraim? It is a name from the Bible, as far as I know, but it's definitely a boys name! |

I'd agree about it being a male name, just started reading a book where the character given this name is a negro. However there's no accounting for parents taste!! I knew a man whose parents gave him the name Mary after his first Christian name. |

Jacqueline In the Bible Ephraim was the younger son of Joseph and in Hebrew the name perhaps means 'Meadows'. Genesis 41:52 Here endeth the lesson! Vera Manchester |
