Meaning and history
Ábrahám comes from the Hebrew name אַבְרָהָם (ʾAvraham), which can be understood as meaning “father of many” or as a contraction of Abram and הָמוֹן (hamon), “many, multitude.” In the Bible, the patriarch Abraham was first named Abram, but God changed his name in Genesis 17:5; with Terah, he led his wife Sarah, his nephew Lot, and other followers from Ur into Canaan. Jews regard him as the founder of the Hebrews through his son Isaac, while Muslims regard him as the founder of the Arabs through his son Ishmael. As an English Christian name, Abraham became common after the Protestant Reformation, and a notable bearer was Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865), the American president who pushed to abolish slavery and led the country through the Civil War.
