Genesis 22:14 says that Abraham called it: Yehwah' yireh' ('Jehovah-Jireh'-NEB, ASV)
meaning "YHWH (Jehovah) will provide". (The Holy Scriptures 'A New Translation' by the Jewish Publication Society of America 1917, removed the name of God, "YHWH", and replaced it with "Adonai" making the name of the place read: 'Adonai-Jireh' meaning 'the LORD will provide'.
Adonai-yir'eh (Genesis ch.22).
In Genesis 22:1-19 Abraham was tested by God to see if he would be willing to sacrifice his son. The son's name was Isaac. Abraham took two of his servants along with Isaac; and Isaac carried wood to the site designated by God. Abraham, with unerring trust in the Lord, was ready to sacrifice whomever or whatever God would ask him to. Of course God intervened and spared Isaac, once He saw that He, God, had chosen wisely the people to be His Chosen People. In the end, Abraham offered up a ram.
The traditional symbol for Isaac is a ram or a lamb, representing sacrifice and obedience. It often refers to the biblical story of the binding of Isaac, where Abraham was asked by God to sacrifice his son Isaac as a test of faith.
Sarah was Abraham's wife. Originally, her name was Sarai, but God changed her name and Abraham's (from Abram) when he made the covenant with them. She was recognized for having a child in her old age (past the years of childbearing); his name was Isaac, and God tested Abraham to see if he was faithful when he told him to sacrifice Isaac at the altar.

Nwoye's new name symbolizes not only his conversion to Christianity, but also his role as the first son of many who will eventually convert. Isaac was Abraham's first son, with Abraham being the ancestral father of a great nation of Israelites; Nwoye was Okonkwo's first son. Further, the famous story of Abraham and Isaac called upon Abraham to sacrifice his son to god. Isaac's brush with death, was much like Nwoye being cast out of his family, and being treated as dead by his father. Nwoye is reborn as a Christian with a new name.
