My father is joy
A Hebrew name derived from the elements 'av', meaning father, and 'gail', meaning joy or to rejoice. In the Old Testament, the original form Abigail was known for her wisdom and beauty, often described as a woman of great character. This specific spelling is a more direct transliteration from the modern Hebrew pronunciation.
