NAME OF THE DAY: Abraham

Today is the anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln's assassination in 1865, so I decided to talk about the name: Abraham.

Abraham is a Hebrew name that means 'father of many' according to Behind The Name. It has Biblical origins: "Abraham was originally named Abram but God changed his name. (Genesis 17:5)"

The name Abraham is definitely an old-fashioned name and surprisingly is still being used today. From the time the most famous "Abe" (Lincoln) died, up until 2022, Popular Baby Names says there have been over 115k baby boys given the strong, heroic name.

Very interestingly, Abraham can be used as a first or last name, however it being a first name is 58% higher.
