The previous response is correct, but just in case you want to know the name in Hebrew, it is: Avrohom Ben/(son of) Reb Shaul.

The word "Reb" is used as a title of respect, and it is inserted predeeding the given name(s). It does NOT imply rabbi, and some people translate it as "Mr". There is no surname mentioned in Hebrew.

Hope that this gives you some additional information.
