The etymological root of both Hiram and Horus is "hr"
"Horus is recorded in Egyptian hieroglyphs as ḥr.w; the pronunciation has been reconstructed as *Ḥāru, meaning "falcon". Additional meanings are thought to have been "the distant one" or "one who is above, over"
"Hiram (Hebrew חִירָם "high-born")
Both names have the connotation of high-ness
Hiram was the son of a widow. Since he was high-born then she must have been also - or it would have been the father that was mentioned.
Horus was the son of The Widow Isis/Ast. In some legends he raised his dead father Osiris/Asar (Lazarus?) and hence was known as the Lord of Life (see 3rd degree ritual).
Hiram reputedly had brothers while Horus had followers.
Horus was represented by a falcon (eagle?) with the sun for the right eye and the moon for the left.
I was reading in a book called the English Cabala that the letter 'H' means 'each' and that Hiram and Huram are trying to explain something different. Abram becomes Abraham after his meeting with the light beings. Likewise Sara becomes Sarah.
H.i.ram Each - I - ram = Aries, Aleph, A in the English alphabet. which could mean 'each I in the beginning..'
H.u.ram on the other hand Each - you - ram
Might the names Hiram and Huram likewise indicate a change of some sort and not just be a translation difference?

It would be better to deconstruct the word in the original language. Heh Resh - referring to something high
Of interest is a close derivative Heh Resh Heh:
The root Heh Resh Heh connotes the reception of seed; in Hiph'il it means 'to sow'. Hence to implant the seeds of truth and goodness, of spirituality and morality in others - to teach (Hirsch, Gen. 26:5). www.shemayisrael.com/parsha/klarberg/archives/simchastorah61.htm
That sounds very Masonic. Perhaps Hiram is not a personal name at all.
I have read many fascinating stories re the connections with the above. How to test them all is beyond my ability, but given that paul is talented in this area, I am rather hoping that he can read the exerpt below and test it for us.
I think it may an interesting exercise for our members to conduct their own 'testing' of the information in the meantime, by whatever means even if just gut feeling.
Thoth:
"As 'Toth-Mus-Zurud,' I came within a vesica of Light, a merkabah of golden and blue-white fire, from Rigel, through the 'Asefetas' (the Belt of Orion), and descended unto 'Rastaru' (Rastau), the etheric manifold of the plain of Giza. With me, I brought the Enochian Table containing the blueprint for the building of the Temple of the Risen One, later to be called the Temple of the Lion, which is now known as the ‘Great Pyramid.' I was the Master Architect of this construction, which was begun in the year 10,400 B.C. It was completed in 10,348 B.C.
"It was not until 9,160 B.C. that I entered the genetic Earth born embodiment through which I would reassume my ‘Thoth' role as Raismes of Aphra. In this Earthborn form, I would dwell for 300 years. After that time, I reincarnatated on Earth as Amenophis, architect to Akhenaten, Imenhotep, architect to Zoser, and Hiram Abiff, architect to King Solomon, among other experiences.
"Toth-Mus-Zurud has been referred to in texts as ‘Thoth the Atlantean,' as my work with the Atlanteans was then prominent, but I was of pure Orion genetics. However, at the time of my birth as the one who was to become Raismes of Aphra, it was necessary for me to embed the light grid of the Risen Temple within the genetics of the Earth.
"When I returned to Egypt, the priests of the Great Temple saw beyond my physical body, into the auric veil which surrounded my form, and they knew that He who is the Tat-tet, the Tehuti, had returned. To those of my family and personal fold, I was known to them as Shansi, 'The Beloved'."
>However, at the time of my birth as the one who was to become Raismes of Aphra, it was necessary for me to embed the light grid of the Risen Temple within the genetics of the Earth.
Did you know that the co-founder of the Order in which I was initiated was a lady called Maria Deraismes.

The quote as edited seems to be valid - as tested by ease of visualisation.
Were Hiram King of Tyre and Hiram Abiff less important than King Solomon?
If so, I wonder if the same 3 characters do not appear in the Rose Croix as the Heavenly Sovereign (KS) and the 2 Generals.
If so the 2 Hirams were likely the half-brothers in Sumer (Ea/Enki and Baal/Enlil). In which case the 3 characters also appear in Holy Royal Arch as the 3 Principals with the Sumerian names embedded in the pre-edit ritual.

I would like to discuss these two letters in conjunction with each other as well.
I was quite shocked at the correlation of what I considered it to mean to myself, and the definition you provided. So I was even more shocked when I looked up the definition of E. Here is the definition for the letter E.
The letter Hei is the fifth letter in the Hebrew alphabet, as well as a number of other Semitic language’s alphabets. Through the ancient Phoenician language, the letter Hei actually became the modern letter “E” in the English and Latin alphabets. The original meaning of the letter Hei is shrouded in mystery as it has been interpreted as everything from “thread” to “fence” to “window” in ancient Semitic languages. Nonetheless, it has an extremely interesting story in terms of both its practical usage in the Hebrew language and its deeper numerical and spiritual meanings.
A bit hard for myself to have ever placed a single object to describe this symbolism of my own views of "E", I usually saw it best to describe it as a conscious form of the cosmic energy/gravity. Or another way to see it, is like the canvas on which we are created. Perhaps though it is our own works done on said canvas, and how we can take it home.
It would be hard and probably a bit odd to explain why the letters "H" and "E" have a major importance to myself and the symbolisms that I work with. There is the basic combo "HE", which I now notice if you squish them together makes a right angle. The "H" also depicts the choice of two equal paths(left and right), but with the right path being chosen to proceed forward. The E going into the right path is also 3 lines, as we have been discussing in other threads correlate with our mind.
So basically this would be saying "each", in conjunction with a equal set mind "E", will produce a clear path forward.
