Meaning and history
Avram is a Romanian, South Slavic, and Yiddish form of Abram or Abraham. In Genesis, Abram is renamed Abraham, interpreted there as “father of a multitude,” and becomes the patriarch central to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The older name Abram is often understood as “exalted father,” though its exact ancient formation is debated. Notable bearers include Romanian revolutionary Avram Iancu and American science-fiction and mystery writer Avram Davidson.
