Origin:Hebrew
Meaning:Uncle
This rare name’s origin is tricky to unravel, but Akabe may be a form of the Hebrew Acabe. With its earthy vowel sounds and rhythmic flair, masculine Akabe trips off the tongue with a youthful chime while holding seniority with its meaning, “uncle.” In many cultures, younger generations refer to their elders as “auntie” or “uncle” out of respect, placing baby Akabe in the seat of authority. Also a sweet way to pay homage to baby’s best uncle, Akabe is rich in familial sentiment.
