Abdeel as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Abdeel

What is the meaning of the name Abdeel ?

The baby name Abdeel is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /æbˈdiːəl/ — ab-DEE-el (also ab-DEEL).

Abdeel is Hebrew in Origin.

Abdeel is a rare biblical male name of Hebrew origin, from ‘Avdi’ (servant) + ’El (God), yielding the meaning “servant of God” or “God’s servant.” In the Hebrew Bible it appears briefly in Jeremiah 36:26 as the patronymic “Shelemiah son of Abdeel.” The form Abdeel reflects older English Bible transliteration, especially the King James Version, of Hebrew Avdi’el (עַבְדִּיאֵל), a theophoric construction common in ancient Israelite naming.

Usage in English has been sparse, with the closely related Abdiel becoming better known - partly through John Milton’s Paradise Lost, where the steadfast angel Abdiel appears - while modern Hebrew favors Avdiel/Avdi’el. Variants include Abdiel, Avdiel, Avdi’el, and the archaic Abdeel; related meaning-names are Obadiah (Hebrew ‘servant of Yah’) and its Latin/Greek form Abdias. Today the name remains uncommon but recognizable in biblical and Hebraic circles, with Abdiel seeing modest use in some Spanish-speaking communities.
