Avram is an ancient and deeply moving Hebrew name, the original name of Abraham our patriarch before God changed his name during the Covenant Between the Parts. The name carries the profound meaning of "exalted father" or "high father," indicating greatness and honored status. Unlike the name Abraham, to which the letter ה (heh) was added to become "father of many nations," the name Avram represents the earlier, more intimate stage in the life of the spiritual father of the Jewish people-a period of personal spiritual seeking and the building of the foundations of faith. The name Avram carries within it all the power of beginning, of the first step in a great journey. When Avram left Ur of the Chaldeans, he left behind not only his homeland but also the entire pagan belief system of his generation. The name symbolizes courage, willingness to change, and the ability to see beyond the familiar and accepted. In Jewish culture, the name Avram recalls the power within a person to shape their destiny, to choose a new path, and to be a spiritual pioneer. This was a period in the great father's life when he did not yet know the magnitude of his destiny, but already acted from pure faith and absolute commitment. In our time, the name Avram carries a character of deep traditionalism and connection to roots. Parents who choose this name express respect for the history of the Jewish people and for the founding figure of Abraham our patriarch, while preserving the original and ancient form of the name. The name is particularly suitable for families wishing to emphasize connection to the past, the values of faith and devotion, and the importance of being first and leading the way. Avram is a name that conveys inner strength, innate wisdom, and the ability to be a spiritual leader. It is a name suitable for a child whose parents believe he will grow to be a person of principles, someone who knows how to stand his ground and act according to his inner truth, exactly as Avram did thousands of years ago when he chose the path of faith in one God.

In Kabbalah, the name Avram represents the initial stage of the soul's elevation, the transition from the material world to the spiritual world. The letter Aleph symbolizes the Master of the Universe, the Divine, and the entire name carries the power of a significant spiritual beginning. Kabbalists see in the change from Avram to Abraham a deep secret of adding divine illumination.
