God changed the name of Abram (meaning "exalted father") to Abraham ("father of many nations") . God names people what they are: Abram had only1 child [ie Ishmael], but Abraham was to have many descendants and many nations coming from them:-
Gen 17:1-5 KJV And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. (v.2) And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. (v.3) And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, (v.4) As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. (v.5)Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
