God is my father
Derived from the Hebrew name 'Abiy'el, it is composed of the elements 'av' meaning father and 'el' referring to God. In the Old Testament, Abiel was the name of the grandfather of King Saul and Abner. It remains a rare but distinguished choice for parents seeking a deep biblical connection.
About 97 boys were named Abiel in 2025.
