The Hebrew proper name Amram most likely means 'exalted people' or 'the kinsman is exalted.' Most famously borne by the father of Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. Amram was of the tribe of Levi and married Jochebed, also a Levite.
Amram's family is one of the most consequential in redemptive history. From this single family came the deliverer (Moses), the first high priest (Aaron), and a prophetess who led Israel in worship (Miriam). God's purposes often flow through ordinary, faithful households. Amram and Jochebed's courage in hiding Moses (Hebrews 11:23) is held up as an example of faith — they feared God more than they feared Pharaoh.
