Abram

אַבְרָם

• Gender: Male
• Origin: Biblical English
• Meaning: high father

• Before he became Abraham, the father of the Jewish people, he was Abram, meaning "high father." It is the original, pre-covenant version of the name, the one he carried before God added that fateful letter and changed everything. There is something appealingly understated about choosing the "before" name, the version that holds all the potential without the weight of the full transformation.

  Abram Games, the son of Jewish immigrants who became Britain's official World War II poster artist and designed the iconic Festival of Britain emblem, showed that this patriarch's name translates beautifully into the modern world. Abram sounds fresh and slightly rebellious compared to the more expected Abraham — like choosing the origin story over the established brand. It has a streamlined, handsome quality that feels modern without trying. Two syllables, one of the biggest stories in human history, and all the potential in the world.
