Abram Abram

Abram is a Babylonian run-away and the first to be called Hebrew (Gen 14:13). God renames him Abraham.
The name Abram comes from ab (ab 4a) meaning father, and rum (rum 2133a) meaning height or, figuratively, arrogance or pride. It comes from the root rum(rum 2133), be high, lofty, rise up.
NOBSE reads Exalted Father, Jones renders Father Of Elevation.
