Abraham Name Meaning

Abraham was the father of the Hebrew nation. Abraham had a son called Isaac who was born when the patriarch reached 100 years old. The name “Abraham” is Herbrew in origin.

Is Abraham a boys name?

Yes it is. It is a boys name and the meaning is “Father of Multitides” and the “Father of Nations” Before the name being Abraham it was taken from the shortened version of Abram in the bible (which I will speak about shortly) this name is a sign of fulfilled promises. I’m sure you have heard of Abraham Lincoln who had a dream of his own death. I have written about that. The name “Abraham” was given by God in the Book of Genesis and the reason the name was extended was because this was a man destined to walk on the path of divine purpose, eventually becoming Abraham, father of many nations.

What does the name Abraham mean spirituality?

Abraham’s journey demonstrates faith, obedience, and, transformation. It's a spiritual masterpiece (as I like to say) that begins with a promise - of more than land or wealth. God calls Abram to give him a prophecy - a future - a nudge as to what is coming. He told Abraham that he would be the Father of the nations. This really goes to show that as humans we are sometimes shown the light. The name Abraham means promise and future. What Words You Can Make from Abram.

What is Abraham's numerology?

As I have already explained the name Abraham comes from Abram and has significant numerology meaning. If you don’t know, numerology says each letter represents a value, and taken together can reveal a lot about someone with that name - the strengths, challenges and purpose.

For the name Abraham, the values are as follows:

  • A = 1
  • B = 2
  • R = 9
  • A = 1
  • H = 8
  • A = 1
  • M = 4

Add all of these numbers up (1 + 2 + 9 + 8 + 1 + 4) for 26. This is reduced further by adding the numbers (2 + 6) for 8.

So what does that mean. Well, the number 8 in numerology indicates power, authority, and material success. The word 8 decision to succeed - and to make one's goals come true. Taking all this together, this means Abraham may have: resilience, leadership, and a strong sense of purpose in balancing material and spiritual life. I also feel given the biblical story behind Abraham’s sort of longing for greatness and ambition this is a super powerful numerology sign for those named Abraham. 

So what is Abraham like as a person?

In terms of personality, Abraham has very strong faith, strong leadership, and, compassion. Its not surprising given the bible meaning I spoke about above. Abraham's key personality is this sort of willingness to follow spiritual direction with great trust and devotion. It would not surprise me if Abrahams are psychic or can foresee the future. On a sort of negative message in that Abraham also looks for inner peace in difficult circumstances, he demonstrates his capacity for forgiveness and grace toward others. So, the reason I mention this is that in the middle of a crisis, he may be quiet. His visionary nature also inspires those around him to a sense of community and a shared goal. As the name changed: from Abram to Abraham in the bible it is a sign that you could seek the transformation in life.
