A nickname for the male given name Abraham, famously associated with Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States.
Short form of Abraham, which comes from Hebrew Avraham meaning 'father of multitudes.' The nickname Abe became especially popular in American culture due to Abraham Lincoln's fame.
Abraham Lincoln was so tall (6'4") that he was nicknamed 'the rail-splitter' because as a young man he split fence rails—his nicknames were based on his actual jobs, which was common in 19th-century America where people's work defined their identity.
