Thinking about the name
Abram
Hebrew origin
“The original Hebrew name of the patriarch who became Abraham, meaning 'exalted father' before God expanded his name to signify 'father of multitudes.' Abram carries the intimacy of Abraham's early life and identity, offering biblical authenticity with a shorter, more direct feel—favored by families valuing historical accuracy and simplicity.”
