Any idea what Yeabsra means?
I got it from this article:
http://www.thestar.com/news/article/979211--easter-rebirth-a-5-year-old-gets-a-new-face?bn=1
It states that the name means "God’s creation." Is that reliable?

The full form of this name seems to be Yeab Sera. Most frequent purported meaning/translation that I found with Google is "God's work".
I could not find a good confirmation for "Yeab" meaning God in Amharic, but it can be found in so many places connected to the Christian faith that this seems quite probable, e.g. here on this page about Ethiopian prayers:

"Sera" is even harder to confirm...
