Abednego is of Hebrew origin, derived from the name 'Abed-Nego', which translates to 'servant of Nego'. In the Bible, Abednego was one of the three companions of Daniel who were thrown into a fiery furnace for refusing to worship King Nebuchadnezzar's golden idol. This event is recorded in the Book of Daniel (3:1-30). The name gained prominence during the Reformation period when it was adopted by Puritans as a symbol of faith and defiance against religious persecution.
"Over the span of two decades, Abednego saw its popularity peak at 9 births in both 2018 and 2021, with an overall total of 97 births during this period."
