Father of multitudes
Bram is a Dutch and Hebrew diminutive of Abraham. In the Hebrew tradition, it signifies a 'father of many,' reflecting the biblical patriarch's role. While it originated as a short form, it has long been established as a standalone name in the Netherlands and gained international literary fame via Bram Stoker.
