Meaning and background
The story behind Bambam
Bambam sounds like the repeated impact word “bam”, and it looks close to Bamm-Bamm, the child of Barney and Betty Rubble in The Flintstones. The producers’ own description of the 1994 film confirms the character’s spelling. As a dog name, Bambam may be a playful reference to that cartoon, an imitation of a noise, or something more personal. The source does not establish which.
- Origin
- Spelling reminiscent of Bamm-Bamm, the child in The Flintstones; connection for any particular bearer is unverified. Source
