Origin:
hebrew
Name Root:
ʾAḇrāhām > Avraham
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Hebrew “ʾAḇrāhām > Avraham,” meaning “High Father, Father of a multitude, many nations.” Abraham was the Biblical patriarch and the father of the Abrahamic Religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In Judaism, Abraham is the founding father of the Covenant, the special relationship between the Jewish people and God. In Jewish tradition, Abraham is called Avraham Avinu, “our father Abraham,” signifying that he is both the biological progenitor of the Jews (including converts, according to Jewish tradition) and the father of Judaism, the first Jew. Abraham (Abram) does not loom so large in Christianity as he does in Judaism and Islam; it is Jesus as the Messiah, who is central to Christianity. The idea of a divine Christ is what separates Christianity from the other two religions. Islamic traditions consider Ibrāhīm (Abraham) the first Pioneer of Islam and that his purpose and mission throughout his life was to proclaim the Oneness of God.

Color meaning: Black

Black is the color of the hidden, the secretive and the unknown, creating an air of mystery. It keeps things bottled up inside, hidden from the world. In color psychology the meaning of the color black is protection from external emotional stress. It creates a barrier between itself and the outside world, providing comfort while protecting its emotions and feelings, and hiding its vulnerabilities, insecurities and lack of self-confidence. In times of fear and uncertainty black contains the energy of the threatening unknown. In a positive state, black is seen as a restful emptiness into which anything may emerge and disappear once again. It is also mysterious, providing a sense of potential and possibility.
