The name Brahma (Brahm) was introduced in India by Aryan invaders coming from ancient Persia which is the region of ancient Mesopotamia and were descendents of Abram a.k.a. Abraham. These people spoke a Semitic language. Hence, the name of God; Brahma; Ab-rama, Father from Above. These are the people that brought the Vedas to India.

The name Brahma as such may not be found in the Vedas and Brahmanas, but these books do carry his name; they are about Brahma. The active creator, Brahma mostly is known as Hiranyagarbha (Golden embryo), Prajapati (Producer; as in Buri, Norse giant), etc.; but there is a curious passage in the Satapatha Brahmana which says:

"He (Brahma) created the gods. Having created the gods, he placed them in these worlds: in this world Agni (fire), Vayu (Air) in the atmosphere, and Surya (Hebr.; Suriel; sun) in the sky."

There are four Vedas; the Rig Veda, the Yayur Veda, the Sama Veda and The Brahmaveda (also Atharva-Veda; pseudonym), that dates from a later time than the first three. Manu always speaks of the first three Vedas as the Old Triple Brahma; "Sanâtanam Trayam Brahma".

The Brahma Sutras are based on the Upanishads, that show the essence of the Vedas. The Vedânta (completion) again, composed by Vyâsa is a extraction of the Upanishads, the Bhagavad-Gita and the Aranyakas (Forrest writings) and may be the highest form of Brahman teachings. The Vedânta is called Brahma-jñâna (knowledge of Brahma) by the Hindi. The concept of Brahman, the supreme Spirit, or the timeless self existent, immanent, transcendent, supreme and ultimate reality as universal essence of all being, is central in the Vedanta. 

According to both Manu and the Satapatha Brahmana, the supreme Spirit, the self-existent lord, created the waters and deposited in them a seed, which seed  became a golden egg, in which he himself was born as Brahma, the progenitor of all the worlds, hence the name; Hiranyagarbha; Golden embryo. As the waters (nara) were "the place of his movement, he (Brahma) was called Narayana." Here the name Narayana is referred distinctly to Brahma, but it afterwards became the name of Vishnu.

The account of the Ramayana is that

"all was water only, in which the earth was formed. Thence arose Brahma, the self-existent, with the deities. He then, becoming as a boar, (like a boar digs up roots) raised up the earth and created the whole world with the saints, his sons. "

A later recension of this poem alters this passage so as to make Brahma a mere manifestation of Vishnu. Instead of "Brahma, the self-existent, with the deities," it substitutes the "imperishable Vishnu."

The Vishnu Purana says that the "divine Brahma called Narayana created all beings," that Prajapati (Producer; Vedic name of Brahma) "had formerly, at the commencement of the (previous) kalpas, taken the shape of a fish, a tortoise, etc., (so now), entering the body of a boar, the lord of creatures entered the water." But this "lord of creatures" is clearly presented as being Vishnu, and these three forms, the fish, the tortoise, and the boar, are now counted among the Avataras of Vishnu.

The Mahabharata mostly pictures Brahma sitting in a lotus, springing from the navel of Vishnu, further reducing the name of Brahma to a mere demi-god. Originally however it was the hidden, self-existent, unborn Lord who Himself appeared as Brahma, the Father from above in our universe, hence the name of Hiranyagarbha (Golden embryo).

Shiva and Vishnu worship assumed importance. Brahma’s name is invoked in religious services only and he is not worshipped like Vishnu and Shiva. How ever, there is only one place Pushkara (near Ajmir in Rajasthan) where he is worshipped.

Brahma is the same as the Sumerian god Anu who is the manifestation of this hidden God.  Anu was born in Nammu, the primal waters as one of a twin; Ki-Anu, earth and heaven (spirit) thus forming a Cosmic sphere or an Egg after the Big Bang.  An in Hebrew can mean both power (spirit), and son.  The hidden God shone his Spirit into this universe.  He so to speak manifested Himself in this world as his own son; the Golden embryo, Hiranyagarbha or Brahma. 

Brahman is a name to indicate his Spirit, Ab-rama-an, the power or spirit.  Brahma is the entity that carries this spirit; the Son of the Father from above, the one we actually know as the Son, the one the Jews know as Yahwèh, or Yah-El, the Lord God, or Yah Elohim, the Lord of the gods, because he, through this power, created all that is, including the high archangels that sometimes were worshipped by people as gods, especially the fallen ones. This Son however is the same one as God Himself, because they are the same Light; the same Spirit; the same God.

God is Spirit. Joh 4:24

It is the same Spirit.  It is like God was reaching with his arm into the waters of our dimension.  See; Laws of Manu  and  the 2nd Book of Enoch. 

Brahman = Atman = Creational energy = Holy Spirit.

It is the same power. The difference is that Brahman is the whole and Atman is the amount of this power contained by your soul, which is an enclosed lake of water within the whole; or a drop in the ocean and is comparable with a rechargeable battery, or a vessel to be filled.

The ultimate task of a Hindu (Pers. Indian) or anyone else for that matter, is the achievement of Moksha. Up to this moment you will be reborn over and over again in a cycle of birth, death and rebirth called Samsara, or reincarnation. Moksha ( the Hebrew term for Savior is Moshia; Messiah) is the moment your enlightened soul, your Atma is liberated from this wheel of rebirths. Your Atma then will return to the divine well, the Brahman from which it came.
