History & Origin
Abagael is an inventive spelling of Abigail, the Hebrew name meaning 'my father is joy.' Abigail's biblical dignity and later popularity drew a crowd of variant spellings, of which this is one of the rarer. The -gael ending is decorative and does not alter the meaning.
Abagael stayed very rare, given to only about twenty girls a year at its high point around 1999, a faint shadow of the popular Abigail. A girl named Abagael then is in her twenties today.
