Abrahamite| Name given to the members of two distinct religious sects in Bohemia and Syria. |
| The Bohemian Abrahamites were deists who claimed the original religion of Abraham. They denied the Trinity, and accepted from the Bible only the Ten Commandments and the Lord's Prayer, declaring themselves followers of the reformer John Huss. The Holy Roman Emperor Joseph II transported them to Transylvania 1783. |
| The Syrian Abrahamites belonged to a 9th century sect of heretics, said to be allied to the Paulicians, who denied the divinity of Christ. Their founder was Ibrahim, or Abraham, of Antioch. |
