Abigale Origin and Meaning

The name Abigale is a girl's name.

Abigale is a feminine name that represents a variant spelling of Abigail, which derives from the Hebrew name 'Avigayil,' meaning 'father's joy' or 'source of joy.' This beautiful alternative spelling maintains the traditional pronunciation while adding a distinctive touch with the ending 'e.' The biblical Abigail was known for her beauty, wisdom, and diplomatic skills as the wife of King David. Throughout history, the name has maintained steady popularity, though the Abigale spelling is less common than the traditional Abigail. This variation gained some traction in the late 20th and early 21st centuries as parents sought unique spellings of classic names. Abigale carries the same friendly, approachable quality as Abigail, with potential nicknames including Abby, Gale, or Gail. It blends traditional values with a slightly contemporary edge through its alternative spelling.
