Ibrahim (Arabic: إبراهيم, Ibrāhīm; also anglicized as Ibraheem) is the Arabic name of Abraham, the common Hebrew patriarch of the Abrahamic religions, including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It is a common male first name and surname among Muslims and Arab Christians, a derivative of the name Abraham or Avram in Judaism and Christianity in the Middle East. It likely indicates a Jewish origin when it is used a surname.

As a surname it was a common indicator of Jewish origin prior to the exodus of the mizrahi population in Arabic speaking countries to Israel. This surname in the Arabic speaking countries today can indicate Jewish origin- and potential conversion to Christianity/Islam at some point.

In the Levant and Maghreb, Brahim and Barhoum are common diminutives for the first name Ibrahim.
