Avramij Origin and Meaning

Avramij is a masculine name with Slavic roots, primarily found in Eastern European cultures. It is a variant of Abram or Abraham, deriving from the Hebrew name meaning 'father of many' or 'exalted father.' While relatively uncommon in Western countries, Avramij maintains cultural significance in Orthodox Christian communities, particularly in Russia, Serbia, and Bulgaria. The name carries historical and biblical connotations, connected to the patriarch Abraham. Its usage has declined in modern times, though some families preserve it to honor ancestral traditions or religious heritage. The pronunciation typically emphasizes the second syllable: ah-VRA-mee.
