What is a good Jewish Name?

(m)





ABRAHAM





This name may be viewed either as meaning "father of many" in Hebrew or else as a contraction of ABRAM and Hebrew hamon "many". The biblical Abraham was originally named Abram but God changed his name (see Genesis 17:5). He led his followers from Ur into Canaan, and is regarded by the Jews as being the founder of the Hebrews through his son Isaac and by the Muslims as being the founder of the Arabs through his son Ishmael. A famous bearer of this name was Abraham Lincoln, the American president during the American Civil War.
