Abraham's name means 'father of the faithful'.

It was changed by God from 'Abram'.
"The Lord said to Abram, 'Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you.'" (Genesis 12:1).
"No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations." (Genesis 17:5).

Abraham is the ancestor of the Jewish people, and we, by our adoption in Christ, become his children and inherit the promises God made to him.
"Understand, then, that those who believe are children of Abraham…. those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith." (Galatians 3:7-9).
