      • 1611,The Holy Bible, […] (King James Version), London: […] Robert Barker, […],→OCLC,Genesis17:5, column 2:
        Neither ſhall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name ſhall beeAbraham: for a father of many nations haue I made thee.
      • 1980, Werner Keller, chapter 7, in William Neil, transl.,The Bible as History, page93:
        As one would expect of caravan people around 1900 B.C., the caravan people depicted in the Khnum-hotpe grave had donkeys, whereas the Bible says thatAbraham and his people, who according to the traditional interpretation are supposed to have lived at the same period, already possessed camels.

      • 1961,Kurt Vonnegut,Mother Night, Dell, published1975, page28:
        "Lincoln wasn't a Jew, was he?" he said. "I'm sure not," I said.[…] "The nameAbraham is very suspicious, to say the least," said Goebbels. "I'm sure his parents didn't realize that it was a Jewish name," I said. "They must have just liked the sound of it. They were simple frontier people. If they'd known the name was Jewish, I'm sure they would have called him something more American, like George or Stanley or Fred."
    4. Asurname originating as a patronymic.[first attested prior to 1150][1]
    5. The 14thsura (chapter) of theQur'an.
