Abrahámovce ( Rusyn: Абрагамовцї, Ukrainian: Абрагамовце, Hungarian: Ábrahámfalva) is a village and municipality in Bardejov District in the Prešov Region of north-east Slovakia. [5] The municipality lies at an altitude of 265 metres and covers an area of 5.899 km2. It has a population of about 342 people. The village is about 99% Slovak.

The name comes from a Slavic personal name Obran, later it was incorrectly associated with the biblical Abraham. [7] In the 15th–16th centuries the name was recorded as Abranfalua (one record), Abran (the most frequent version) or Abraham (only from the second half of the 16th century). [7]
