    Abram

    boy
    ✓ In the King James Bible — Yes — Abram appears in the King James Bible, including Genesis 12:1.
    Meaning
    "Exalted father"
    Origin
    Hebrew

    Abram was Abraham's original name before God changed it. While 'Abram' means 'exalted father,' God expanded it to 'Abraham' — 'father of many nations.' The name change marked the beginning of God's covenant relationship, demonstrating that God gives us new identities aligned with His purposes.

    Spiritual meaning

    Abram teaches that God calls us by name and gives us new identities — transforming who we are into who He destines us to be.

    Questions about biblical name meanings

    How do I find the biblical meaning of a name?

    Type the name into the search box above. The tool returns the Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, or Latin root behind the name, its literal meaning, and the King James Version passages where it appears.

    Does every name have a biblical meaning?

    No. Many modern Christian names never appear in Scripture, and some popular 'biblical meanings' circulating online are inaccurate. Where a name is thematic rather than scriptural, we say so plainly instead of inventing a verse for it.

    Which Bible translation do the verses come from?

    The King James Version. It is public domain in the United States, so the text can be quoted and shared freely.

    How can I tell whether a name is actually in the Bible?

    Each result distinguishes a name that appears in the KJV from a later Christian or thematic name. Related verses explain a theme; they are not presented as proof that a modern name occurs in Scripture.
