Abigail, of Hebrew origin, translates to 'father rejoices.' It gained prominence in the 19th century and was popularized by Louisa May Alcott's character Abigail March in Little Women.
"Abigail's popularity peaked in the late 1980s to early 1990s with a significant jump from 22 births in 1989 to 23 births in 2003, followed by a sharp increase to 89 births in 2004. However, it has since seen a decline, with only 6 births recorded in 2021 and 2022."
