Avram

Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Avram: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2024.

Avram is the original Hebrew form of Abraham, meaning "exalted father" or "father of many" – given to the biblical patriarch before God changed his name. Famous bearers include Israeli football manager Avram Grant, who led Chelsea to the Champions League final, and Nobel Prize-winning chemist Avram Hershko. While no major places are directly named Avram, the name shares roots with the biblical town of Hebron, closely tied to Abraham's story. A notable variant is Abram, equally ancient and used widely across Jewish and Christian traditions. In Scotland, Avram remains rare but carries a dignified, timeless resonance for parents seeking a name with deep spiritual heritage and international recognition.
