His formal (neutral, non-devotional) name was "Sālig Rām".
His official honorary (but not devotional) title, officially conferred by the Government of India for his government service, was "Rai Bahadur".
His most popular devotional title by which devotees constantly refer to him is "Huzūr Mahārāj" (also used by devotees of Sawan Singh, Kirpal Singh, and Charan Singh, causing confusion among those unfamiliar with this field of study).
In the Radhasoami Satsang at Soami Bagh, Āgrā and especially in the Radhasoami Satsang at Huzuri Bhavan, Peepal Mandi, Āgrā, Sālig Rām is referred to by the devotional title "Param Purush Puran Dhani" ("PPPD").
Devotees have at times used other devotional names/titles for Sālig Rām, including: "Rādhāsoāmī Dayāl".
In devotional literature, pronouns referring to Sālig Rām are often capitalised, e.g. "He", "Him", "His".

The title of this article, "Hazur Rai Saligram Bahadur," mixes the honorific (Hazur), his title (Rai Bahadur), and his actual name (Salig Ram). "Hazur" and "Hazur Maharaj" are in Indian idiom equivalent expressions to the English "My Lord." Of course, non-Indians don't understand any of these and are easily confused.
