Meaning of Abdiel

Abdiel—pronounced AB-dee-el—springs from ancient Hebrew roots and means “servant of God,” yet his story feels as fresh as a morning bolero drifting through a sun-kissed plaza. In the Bible he shows up briefly in 1 Chronicles, loyal and unshakable, and later struts back onto the stage in Milton’s Paradise Lost as the angel who sticks to the good side when things get fiery. Fast-forward to modern nurseries, and Abdiel keeps fluttering up the U.S. charts like a bright little kite, with more than 400 newborns receiving the name last year alone. Parents love that it sounds both classic and zesty—equal parts ancient scroll and street-corner salsa. Picture a boy named Abdiel: heart full of rhythm, feet ready for adventure, spirit tuned to kindness. The name is short, strong, and sweet, a pocket-sized passport to history, faith, and a dash of Latin flair.
