Abrama

Abrama is a given name, primarily a masculine name. It is considered a variant spelling of the name Abraham. As such, it shares the same etymological roots and historical associations.

Origin and Meaning:

Abrama derives from the Hebrew name Abraham (אברהם). The generally accepted meaning of Abraham is "father of a multitude" or "father of many nations." This meaning is derived from the Hebrew words "av" (father) and "hamon" (multitude). The variant Abrama, therefore, carries the same or a similar connotation.

Usage:

While Abraham is a widely recognized and common name, Abrama is a far less common variant. Its usage is geographically dispersed but typically found within communities that have a historical connection to the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). It can appear in both personal naming conventions and occasionally as a surname.

Variations and Related Names:

• Abraham
• Abram
• Ibrahim (Arabic equivalent)
• Abe (short form)

Cultural Significance:

The name, whether in its more common or variant forms, holds significant religious and cultural importance due to its association with the biblical figure Abraham, a patriarch revered in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as a key figure in monotheistic faith.
