EVERETT, Washington (CNN) -- Meet Abraham Lincoln.

Abraham Lincoln with his parents, Dean and Kryssia Lincoln, at their home in Everett, Washington.

Abraham, 23, may not look like America's 16th president, but he is a distant relative -- and he uses "mrprez16" in his e-mail address.

"I've always joked [that] Dean, my father, looks like President Abraham Lincoln. It's through his bloodline that we're related."

Dean claims to be a third cousin five times removed.

"There were three brothers that came to America from England in 1635," he says. "We're related to Samuel Lincoln, the same one Abraham Lincoln is related to."

"I'm tall and fairly thin," Dean adds. "He didn't have a moustache. If I shaved and grew a beard like him, I'd probably look a lot like him."

Dean's son, Abraham, looks more like his mother.

"I got the color of my skin from my mother, the Hispanic side," Abraham says. "I have the height from my dad, similar to Abraham Lincoln's height -- though not quite there, three inches shorter."  Watch Abraham Lincoln speak of his iconic namesake »

Kryssia, Abraham's mother, is from El Salvador.

"I loved the name Abraham," she says. "I always did. I think it sounds so elegant and in Spanish, it's 'Aab-ra-haam'. In the Bible, Abraham is the 'father of our faith.' "

"I never knew I was going to marry a man with the last name 'Lincoln,' never dreamed about it. So when I got married (in 1982) to my husband, Dean Lincoln, and we had our second child, and it was a boy," she says, snapping her fingers, "sure enough, I wanted to name him Abraham.

"We didn't have to argue very much because of course the heritage that he has ... and his great-grandfather's name was Abraham."  See photos of the Lincolns »

At the Lincolns' home in Everett, Washington, the dining room table is full of genealogy lists, old family photos and letters, some dating back to the Civil War.

Dean carefully unfolds one of the letters. It's from William Lincoln, a Union soldier and Dean's great-great-great-grandfather.

"The 'Rebs' are getting just where ol' Sherman wants them," William Lincoln wrote home to his wife. "He will rout them soon and drive them back to their holes."

"We ain't heard from the election to any certainty yet. But the soldiers think, if Lincoln is elected, we have hopes of the war playing out."

Of his famous name, Abraham says, "At first, people don't believe me. I usually have to pull out my driver's license. They'll usually crack a few jokes ... sort of breaks the ice."

"Once in school, a teacher came to my name in roll call. He decided to stop the class and told me to 'make sure I never drive a Ford car.' 'Don't ever let my wife convince me to go to a theater.'

"He asked if I knew John Wilkes Booth. Those are the most common ones. I think he was waiting to get a reaction outta me, but I told him that I'd heard them before."

Word spread quickly through his high school that this freshman wanted to be called "Mr. Prez." The nickname stuck. And because of his Hispanic roots, some of his classmates even called him "El Presidente."

"I think I've heard every one in the book. I still get a chuckle every time someone thinks they've come up with a new one," Abraham says.
