Abraham was a Hebrew:
[Genesis 14:13]
AND THERE CAME ONE THAT HAD ESCAPED, AND TOLD ABRAM THE HEBREW; FOR HE DWELT IN THE PLAIN OF MAMRE THE AMORITE, BROTHER OF ESHCOL, AND BROTHER OF ANER: AND THESE WERE CONFEDERATE WITH ABRAM.
Joseph described himself as "FROM THE LAND OF THE HEBREWS".
Genesis 40:
15 FOR I WAS IN FACT KIDNAPPED FROM THE LAND OF THE HEBREWS, AND EVEN HERE I HAVE DONE NOTHING THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE PUT ME INTO THE DUNGEON.
The Egyptians also described Joseph as a Hebrew (Genesis 39:14, 17 41:12).
A leading Rabbinical Commentator, Rabbi Yaakov Tzvi Mecklenburg ("Haketav ve-HaKabbalah", 1785-1865) understood that the name applied specifically to the sons of Joseph was "Hebrew".
[Mecklenburg says that he received this understanding from the writings of a certain Rabbi Y. Ashkenazi].
Genesis 48:
15 HE BLESSED JOSEPH, AND SAID,
THE GOD BEFORE WHOM MY FATHERS ABRAHAM AND ISAAC WALKED,
THE GOD WHO HAS BEEN MY SHEPHERD ALL MY LIFE TO THIS DAY,
16 THE ANGEL WHO HAS REDEEMED ME FROM ALL EVIL,
BLESS THE LADS;
AND MAY MY NAME LIVE ON IN THEM,
AND THE NAMES OF MY FATHERS ABRAHAM AND ISAAC;
AND MAY THEY GROW INTO A MULTITUDE IN THE MIDST OF THE EARTH.
Rabbi Mecklenburg comments,
Isaac said, referring to the sons of Joseph, "LET MY NAME BE NAMED UPON THEM" (Genesis 48:16):
This is correct the Hebrew original does not say "NAMES (in the plural) of my forefathers" but rather "NAME (in the singular) of my forefathers."
That one name was "Hebrew" by which they were all known.
All the Patriarchal Forefathers and their children and the children of their children were known as Hebrews. This may have been because they originally came from over the River (Euphrates). Rabbi Mecklenburg explained that Joseph feared that his sons would not be known by this name but rather as Egyptians since they were born in Egypt. Jacob therefore blessed them (i.e. the sons of Joseph) that they would be called Hebrews just like the other Tribes.
In the light of the explanation of Rabbi Mecklenburg. First let us explain it according to the original Hebrew. This is how it should preferably be translated.
Genesis 48:15 He blessed Joseph, and said, The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, The God who has been my shepherd all my life to this day, 16 The angel who has redeemed me from all evil, Bless the lads; And may MY NAME live on in them, And THE NAME of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; And may they grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
the name of my fathers - In Hebrew it says "shem" one name and not the ""names" in the plural.
One name, the name "Hebrew'", that is the name of the Gorefathers by which the Ancient Israelites were known by. In the west the term "IVRI" meaning Hebrew became "Ibri" or "HIBRI" i.e. Ha-Ivri", i.e. "The (Ha-) Hebrew." The Ancient Israelties were known as "Hebrews" that was the name given to them, by what they were known as, ot ewas pronounced "Heberi" or "Iberi" and this was the name used in the West for themselves by peoples of Celtic Culture.
The terms "Hiber" or "Iber" are derived from the Hebrew. In Hebrew "Iber" is derived from "Ivri" since the "B" and the "V" sounds interchange.
Also "Iber" and "Heber" are the same since the "H" sound means the same as the definite article i.e. "the".
The terms Hiberi or Iberi were applied to peoples of Celtic Culture in the west.
The name "Iber" or "Hebrew" gave rise to Ibernia which name was once applied to Spain and Portugal which as known as the Ibernian Peninsula.
There was also the Ebro River in the center of the country.
The Israelites in these areas later moved to Ireland and Britain and parts of Gaul.
Ireland was once known as "Ibernia" and an Irishman as "Hibernian".
This name was also applied to the Celts of Britain. The term "Celt" may be a modern development.
The peoples of Celtic Culture applied the term "Hiber" (Hebrew) to them selves.
Ireland was called Hibernia by the Romans.
The Iberni were in southwest Ireland.
The Iberni Ocean was to the east of Ireland.
The Hebrides: Islands were off the northwest coast of Scotland
The Dacians who once lived in the area of Romania but later moved to Denmark were also referred to by the Romans as "Iberi."
Dacian soldiers in the service of the Emperor Aurelian (215-275 CE) on the Danube are referred to as Hiberi.
Dacia was a border area opposite the Celtic and Scythian spheres. The dacuabs were abcestirs if the Danes,

They were Israelite nations descended from the Lost Ten Tribes (LTTs).
Other Names used by the Forefathers were also applied to their descendants.
God informed Abraham,
"IN ISAAC SHALL YOUR SEED BE CALLED" (Genesis 21:21).
Saxons who became the Anglo-Saxons have their name as derived from Isaac.
"Saxon" was formerly "Saca" a name applied to the Scythians a portion of whom were part of the Lost Ten Tribes and later moved to Western Europe.
Jacob was also known as Israel (Genesis 35:10). He received the Blessings promised to Abraham and to Isaac.
Isaac blessed Jacob,
"GOD ALMIGHTY BLESS YOU, AND MAKE YOU FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY YOU, THAT YOU BE A COMMUNITY OF PEOPLES; AND GIVE YOU THE BLESSING OF ABRAHAM, TO YOU AND TO YOUR SEED WITH YOU" (Genesis 28:2-3).
The term "Yank" means "Jack" and is short for Jacob. This is a name given to Americans. The Union Jack represents Britain, etc. We also have the nickname "Jock" which is also a form of "Jaacob" for someone from Scotland, and "Jacques" for a Frenchman.
So too the name "Jacob" in Medieval Latin could be rendered as "James". We therefore had King James of England in honor of whom the King James Bible is named.
The TWELVE SONS OF ISRAEL were Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulon, Joseph, Benjamin, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. All the sons of Israel received a Blessing from their father, "Everyone according to his blessing he blessed them" (Genesis 49:28).
Jonah 1:9 AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, I AM AN HEBREW; AND I FEAR THE LORD, THE GOD OF HEAVEN, WHICH HATH MADE THE SEA AND THE DRY LAND.
Historically we find that such was the case, amongst Western Peoples.
