About Abram
Abram was Abraham's original name in the Bible; it's more user-friendly but with a bit less gravitas. And it does offer that cool nickname Bram, as well as the friendly Abe. After some early American usage, in 1936 Abram completely disappeared for nearly forty years, until its return in the 1970s.
It was the middle name of President James A. Garfield.
As of October 2026, Abram ranked #742 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #290 in 1881.
Editor's take: The name Abram is a boy's name of Hebrew origin meaning "father of multitudes".
