"عَنْ أَبِى بَكْرِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ المَخْزُومِىِّ مِنْ آل يَرْبُوعِ أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحمَنِ ابْنَ الحَارِثِ بْنِ هِشَامِ كَانَ اسْمُهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الخَطَّابِ في وِلَايَتِهِ حِينَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُغَيِّرَ اسْمَ مَنْ تَسَمَّى بِأَسْمَاءِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ فَغَيَّرَ اسْمَهُ، فَسَمَّاهُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ فَثَبَتَ اسْمُهُ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ".

“From Abu Bakr ibn 'Uthman al-Makhzumi, from the family of Yarbu': that 'Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Harith ibn Hisham had been named Ibrahim. He entered upon 'Umar ibn al-Khattab during his caliphate, when he wanted to change the names of those who named themselves after the names of the Prophets, so he changed his name and named him 'Abd al-Rahman, and his name remained so until today.”
