Abram became known as Abraham when he was 99 years old and God reaffirmed his promise that his offspring would become many.
(Genesis 17:5) 5 And your name will not be called A′bram anymore, and your name must become Abraham, because a father of a crowd of nations I will make you.
But there was a lot more in this covenant God made with him.
Other components were:
God would give his descendants the land of Ur.
The promise would be extended through Isaac, and Jacob, and lead to Jesus Christ
It was fulfilled in Jesus as the Messiah (by which all nations would be blessed)
Included a provision for circumcision (physical sign of the covenant relationship)

Why is Isaac sometimes called ''the child of the promise''?
In the book of Genesis in the Bible, God promised Abraham and Sarah a son, even in their old age. Abraham was 100 and Sarah was 90 when Isaac was born. The "Child of the Promise" refers to God's promise to Abraham and Sarah.
Was Isaac form the bible killed for god?
No. Isaac married, had children, outlived his father Abraham, lived to an old age, died at home of natural causes, and was buried in the family cemetery by his sons, next to his wife. If you own a bible or can borrow one, you can read all the details there. God tested Abraham's faith by asking him to sacrifice Isaac (who was the promised child from God at his old age). When Abraham was ready to perform the sacrifice God intervened and provided a ram to be a substitute for Isaac.
