The story of Avrohom
Abraham is the founding patriarch of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, renamed by God as part of the covenant — one of the Bible's explicit naming etymologies. Avrohom is the Ashkenazi form and remains standard in Hasidic and Yeshivish communities in New York and Israel. It appears in American records in current use.
Meaning
father of a multitude
From the Hebrew Avraham, which Genesis 17 glosses as av hamon, 'father of a multitude', when God renames Abram. The -o- in Avrohom reflects Ashkenazi Hebrew, which renders the kamatz vowel as o where Israeli Hebrew says a.

The Zachry test
Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Avrohom's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Zachry climbed just as high around 1985, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Zachry's path sketches the road Avrohom is walking now.
