Question:

Is someone with the last name "Abraham" more likely to be Jewish or Muslim?

I encountered a woman recently whose last name is "Abraham." She appeared to be of Iranian descent. Is this last name common to either Jews or Muslims? Moreso one or the other?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I would bet on Muslim. She probably adapted the spelling to English. Or her family did in the past.

Ibrahim, Abraham, Ibraham, Ibrahem.

All the same.

In reality, she could be any of the three Abrahemic religions, Christian, Jew, Muslim.
