- Abigal
Description:
Abigal is a feminine name that represents a variant spelling of the more common Abigail, which derives from the Hebrew name Avigayil, meaning 'my father's joy' or 'source of joy.' This slight spelling variation emerged as parents sought ways to personalize traditional names while maintaining their essential character and pronunciation. The original Abigail appears in the Bible as King David's wise and beautiful wife, giving the name a rich historical and religious heritage. This alternative spelling maintains the name's graceful, timeless quality while offering a subtle point of distinction. Though significantly less common than the standard spelling, Abigal occasionally appears in English-speaking countries, particularly in the United States. The name conveys intelligence, strength, and feminine grace, much like its traditional counterpart.
