Abegail is a girl’s name of Hebrew origin, meaning “my father is joy” or “her father’s joy." It derives from the Hebrew name Avigail, and is an English variant of the popular Abigail. In the Hebrew Bible’s Book of Samuel, Abigail was the wife of King David, and was described as intelligent, loyal and beautiful. A worthy namesake for your little one! With its less common spelling, Abegail offers a rarer alternative to Abigail.
