How Abraham sounds
The three beats of Abraham give it a lyrical quality. Abraham closes on a humming sound, which gives it a calm and friendly ending. Abraham is built from soft, running sounds, which this scheme counts as water. Abraham is neither trendy nor rare in U.S. birth records, which makes it a settled, comfortable choice. Abraham appears mainly as a boy's name in U.S. birth records.
The Saju view
Abraham starts on a vowel, H, W or Y, a sound that Korean name reading would place in the earth group and that this scheme carries over to English. If your Four Pillars show little earth, Abraham is worth a closer look: its earth sound is the kind the tradition recommends for a shortage. Abraham supports metal from behind: its earth sound is the traditional source of that element. A chart that already holds plenty of earth is better served by another name, since Abraham would add to it.

Numerology, for reference
Counting each letter of Abraham by the Pythagorean table gives 8, a number associated with achievement and authority. In numerology the number 8 stands for ambition, which is tied to achievement, authority and a head for practical results. The vowels of Abraham add up to a Soul Urge number of 3, linked with an inner wish for self-expression. Numerologists link the number 3 with expression: creativity, humor and an easy way with words. Counting only the consonants, Abraham comes to 5, the number numerologists connect with someone who seems lively and adventurous. The number 5 is read as the number of change, associated with curiosity, travel and a need for freedom and variety.
