Abramowicz

Abramowicz, Abramovich, Abramowitz, and Abramovitz are spellings of a long established surname in Europe; first recorded in England, it is now found in every European country. It is a common surname amongst Ashkenazi Jews, for whom it is commonly Hebraized to Avraham (אברהם) upon immigration to Israel. It was also one of the many surnames of Hebrew influence which were historically given by the returning Crusaders to their children, in recognition of their father's visit to the 'Holy Land.'
