Avraam is Hebrew in Origin.

Avraam is the Greek and East Slavic form of the biblical name Abraham, stemming from Hebrew Avraham. In Genesis 17 the patriarch’s name changes from Abram “exalted father” to Abraham, understood as “father of a multitude,” a meaning that carries into Avraam. The form entered Greek through the Septuagint and then Church Slavonic, remaining prominent in Eastern Orthodox calendars; in Russia it appeared mainly in ecclesiastical and monastic circles, with saints such as Avraamii (Abraham) of Rostov, and in Greece/Cyprus it survives as a rare but traditional given name.

Variants and cognates include Abraham (English, Latin), Avraham (Hebrew), Abram, Abraam (Coptic and some Greek usage), Avraamiy/Avraamy (Church Slavonic–Russian), and the related Arabic Ibrahim. Diminutive or short forms found across languages are Abe, Avi, and Bram. Today Avraam conveys a solemn, liturgical tone while preserving the enduring patriarchal meaning of leadership, ancestry, and blessing.
