Ok well Abe is short for Abraham Lincoln's name!
People called him Honest Abe because when Abe.Lincoln was the prez. the people who liked him thought that he wouldn't lie and so thats where the name came from!!

The president Abraham Lincoln was a very honest man so they called him Honest Abe.

it's just a nickname. Abraham Lincoln was called Honest Abe because of his honesty. I would just grin and bear it and take it as a complement.

Comes from Aberham Lincoln, the 13th president of the U.S. He was known as an honest person and so that is where they get that expression.
