Abi is a name rooted in both English and Biblical traditions. It carries the meaning of 'my father is joy' and is often given to girls. The name Abi is a diminutive form of the English and Biblical name Abigail, which itself has Hebrew origins. Abigail means 'joy of a father' and is mentioned in the Old Testament as the third wife of King David. The use of the name Abi has evolved over time, with it being used both as a personal name and a place name. In contemporary contexts, it has been immortalized by figures like Habeeb Muhammed, an Indian comedian and actor who used Abi as his stage name.
