Avrum is the Yiddish form of Abraham, the Hebrew name of the biblical patriarch that is traditionally explained as "father of a multitude" or "father of many". It is used almost exclusively in Orthodox and Hasidic Jewish communities, which explains its steady presence in New York and New Jersey. In the United States Avrum had fewer than five births in 2000, rose from number 5314 in 2015 to number 2739 in 2023 and ranks number 2889 in 2025 with 43 births.
