What the does the term ham radio mean in amateur radio?
Amateur radio, often called ham radio, is both a hobby and a service in which participants, called "hams," use various types of radio communications equipment to communicate with other radio amateurs for public service, recreation and self-training.[1] Amateur radio operators enjoy personal (and often worldwide) wireless communications with each other and are able to support their communities with emergency and disaster communications if necessary, while increasing their personal knowledge of electronics and radio theory. An estimated six million people throughout the world are regularly involved with amateur radio.[2] The term "amateur" is not a reflection on the skills of the participants, which are often quite advanced; rather, "amateur" indicates that amateur communications are not allowed to be made for commercial or money-making purposes.

There is no scientist named Ham in ham radio. The term was first an insult, like "ham-fisted" (clumsy) or "ham actor" (bad stage actor). Then the radio operators decided to take the name as a source of pride, and found three radio pioneers to say it was named for: The H is for Heinrich Hertz, who did a lot of work with radio frequency energy and for whom the measurement of frequency is named. The A is for Major Edwin Armstrong, who invented frequency modulation. Apparently no one else was available because FM wasn't a popular mode in the amateur service when they borrowed his name. The M is for Guglielmo Marconi, who invented the radio.
Is Ham radio and amateur radio is same?
Yes Ham Radio and Amateur Radio are same. Amateur and Ham radio operators use two-way radio stations from their homes, cars, boats and outdoors to make hundreds of friends around town and around the world. They communicate with each other using voice, computers, and Morse code. Some hams bounce their signals off the upper regions of the atmosphere, so they can talk with hams on the other side of the world. Other hams use satellites. Many use hand-held radios that fit in their pockets.
