Abisai

Abisai Origin and Meaning

The name Abisai is a boy's name.

Abisai is a masculine name with biblical origins, derived from the Hebrew name Abishai (אֲבִישַׁי), meaning 'father of a gift' or 'my father is a gift.' In the Old Testament, Abishai was the nephew of King David and one of his military commanders. The name has gained popularity in Hispanic and Latino communities, particularly in Mexico and Central America. Abisai offers parents a biblical choice that's less common than names like David or Daniel while maintaining spiritual significance. The name carries connotations of strength, leadership, and divine blessing. Its pronunciation (ah-bee-SAH-ee) gives it a melodic quality that works well in multiple languages and cultural contexts.
