When Shah Rukh Khan got his first (so far) surrogate baby boy, he named him AbRam. Note that “R” is a capital here, as against the common convention. I wondered like many people, what does “AbRam” mean?
On one forum I could read a person claiming that it should have been “Abraham” which is Hebrew origin. But if he wanted to be it Abraham which is a proper word, he could name him so. Why choose AbRam appearing as specifically different name than Abraham?
Another portal tells the real reason. You can read it to understand:
His older children Aryan, 16 and Suhana, 13 were given Indian names and everyone wondered what SRK would name his son. While he is a Muslim, his wife Gauri is a Hindu, so he has chosen a name that has both Hindu and Muslim reverberations. AbRam is a Hebrew name that means ‘Father of Many’. The name also encompasses one of the foremost Hindu deities Ram and he has highlighted this by spelling the R with a capital. Looks like SRK has come up with quite an innovative name. We congratulate the Khans and wish AbRam all health and happiness.
