You can add the usage of "Biblical Greek" to this name, for Adoniram is also the form used in the Septuagint (Greek Old Testament).
The name is written as Ἀδωνιράμ in Greek.

When I first heard the name in the missionary, Adoniram Judson, I always thought it a weird name. Why would you want to name your kid that? But when I learnt the origin and meaning of the name on here, it gave me a new perspective on the name. Now I wouldn't mind naming my kid Adoniram!
