Abélia

Abélia is a feminine name of Latin origin, derived from 'Abel', which means 'breath' or 'vapor'. The name was inspired by the botanist Dr. Clarke Abel, after whom the flowering plant genus Abelia was named. While not common in most Western countries, Abélia has a delicate, botanical quality that appeals to parents seeking something unique yet melodic. The accent on the 'e' gives the name a distinctive French flair. Its rarity contributes to its appeal for those wanting an uncommon name with natural associations and feminine elegance.

Pronounced ah-BAY-lee-ah.
