Origin and meaning of Ibrahim
Ibrahim is the Arabic form of Abraham, from the Hebrew Avraham, 'father of many, of multitudes'. In Islam Ibrahim is one of the most important prophets, regarded as a model of faith and obedience to God. For this reason the name is extremely common throughout the Muslim world, from West Africa to Turkey and South Asia; variants such as Ibrahima in Africa, Brahim in the Maghreb and Abraham in the West attest to its extraordinary spread across peoples and languages.
