Abigil Origin and Meaning

The name Abigil is a girl's name.

Abigil is a rare variant spelling of the more common feminine name Abigail. The original Hebrew name Abigail (אֲבִיגַיִל) means 'my father's joy' or 'father of exaltation.' While Abigail ranks consistently among popular biblical names in many English-speaking countries, the Abigil spelling variation remains extremely uncommon. This alternative spelling maintains the same pronunciation but offers a distinctive written form. The biblical Abigail, wife of King David, was known for her wisdom and beauty, giving the name positive historical associations. Parents might choose this variant spelling to maintain the name's traditional meaning and sound while adding uniqueness. Unlike standard Abigail, which often appears in popularity charts, Abigil remains a rare alternative.
