I'm from northern CA and have heard this several times as an ethnic name. I realize it is from the Torah, but the men I've known with it are usually Hispanic and one is Vietnamese.

I think it sound delightfully old-fashioned, like the name of a circuit riding preacher.

I am so torn. I love the name, but its so uncommon and the spelling is not very "pretty" I know its of Hebrew decent, but have not met or heard of ANYONE named Ephrem. The only reason I heard of it was a tv show. Crazy!
