Abraham

Biblical faith founder

Abraham is a biblical patriarch, the founding father of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—the "Abrahamic religions." God's covenant with Abraham, promising countless descendants, makes him central to all three faiths.

The name means "father of many" in Hebrew.

As a given name, Abraham remains in use, with the nickname Abe: Abraham Lincoln, Honest Abe.
