Aabel Family Crest & Name History

Some records give Abel; others give Aabel. Both point to the same English family name. Its meaning, shared with Abel, is “breath”.

Spelling and variants

The extra “a” in Aabel is a spelling habit rather than a different name. Spellings drifted because names were written down by ear in parish books, tax rolls and passenger lists. Other spellings include Abell and Able.
