Abigel Origin and Meaning

The name Abigel is a girl's name.

Abigel is a variant of the Hebrew name Abigail, meaning 'father's joy' or 'source of joy.' This unique spelling has Hungarian origins, as it represents the Hungarian form of Abigail. While less common than the traditional spelling, Abigel has a distinctive charm and maintains the same warm meaning as its more familiar counterpart. The name gained some recognition in the United States in recent decades but remains relatively uncommon, offering a slightly exotic twist on a classic name. Abigel carries the same biblical connections as Abigail, who was known for her beauty and wisdom in the Old Testament.
