Avrom is of Hebrew origin, derived from Abraham, which means "exalted father." It is a less common variant spelling of Avraham and is often used within the Orthodox Jewish community. The name gained prominence during the late 19th to mid-20th century among Eastern European Jews who immigrated to other parts of the world. Today, it is still primarily associated with Jewish families but can be found in various communities globally. In some cases, Avrom may be used as a pet form of Abraham or as an independent given name in its own right. The name has no commonly recognized diminutives or nicknames and is typically pronounced /ˈɑːvrəm/.
"The name Avrom peaked in popularity between 1928 and 1934 with seven births each year, then fluctuated until another peak in the late 1960s."
