Thinking about the name
Abell
Hebrew origin
“A variant spelling of Abel, the Hebrew name meaning 'breath' or 'vapor,' referencing the second son of Adam in biblical tradition. Abell with the double-L offers a surname-like quality while maintaining biblical resonance, appealing to parents who want a classic name with a slightly modern edge. The doubled consonant gives it solidity and distinction.”
