Abagil

Hebrew

"my father is joyful"

Abagil Origin and Meaning

The name Abagil is a girl's name.

Abagil appears to be a variant spelling of the Hebrew name Abigail, which means "my father's joy" or "source of joy." The traditional biblical Abigail was known for her beauty and wisdom, described in the Old Testament as one of King David's wives. This alternate spelling maintains the same pronunciation but offers a unique written form that distinguishes it from the more common Abigail. Abagil has never ranked in the U.S. top 1000 names, making it an extremely rare variation. While the traditional Abigail has enjoyed enduring popularity, particularly since the 1950s and peaking in the early 2000s, Abagil remains obscure. Parents might choose this spelling for its distinctiveness while still connecting to the rich biblical heritage of the name.
