Abraham

From the Hebrew Avraham, meaning father of a multitude. The name crossed the Atlantic on the Mayflower and became an American fixture through the sixteenth president. It spent over a century treated as heavy historical furniture before quietly finding a second wind in the twenty-first century.

The name carries the immediate gravity of a copper penny and a log cabin. Despite six score years of nineteenth-century associations, the typical bearer is not wearing a stovepipe hat. Over two-thirds of all living Abrahams belong to Generation Z or Generation Alpha. He is far more likely to be finishing college than splitting rails.
