Nechamia Nachman Breb Avrohom Abba Kachka

Would the name above be understood as Nechamia Nachman, son of, Avrohom father
Kachka?

Or, is it possible the family name is Abba Kachka?

Thanks,

Abba is a proper name. Each man has two give names in the phrase, one Hebrew and one Secular. Nechamiah Nachman the son of Mr Abrahaham Abba Kachka. .

Thanks Hatte. My Grandmother told me this when she was in her early 90s. I often wish I would have asked her more.
