Which U S President was born with the first name Hiram?
The U.S. President born with the first name Hiram was Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th President of the United States. He was born Hiram Ulysses Grant on April 27, 1822, in Point Pleasant, Ohio. However, a clerical error at West Point resulted in his name being recorded as Ulysses S. Grant, and that became the name he used throughout his life.
The mix up of his name occured when he was entered into West Point. The congressman who nominated him, mistakenly put his name down as Ulysses S. Grant. This name then stuck with him for the rest of his life.
