Abél

abël is a stylized spelling that appears in contemporary contexts as a given name, nickname, or brand name. It is not associated with a distinct, widely recognized concept beyond its use as a personal name or identifier.

The name abël derives from the Hebrew name Abel, which appears in the Bible as Hevel in Hebrew. The root is commonly understood to mean “breath” or “vapour.” In biblical narrative, Abel is the second son of Adam and Eve and the first murder victim mentioned in the scriptures. Over time, the name has been adapted into various languages and forms, including Abel and its regional variants.

The use of a diaeresis over the final e (abël) is nonstandard in most languages and generally functions as a stylistic device in branding or artistic naming. It does not imply a universal pronunciation. In practice, abël may be pronounced as two syllables, a-bel, with emphasis on the first, though individual readers or communities may render it differently.

Beyond personal naming, abël may occur in fictional works, music, or design as a modern branding choice intended to evoke heritage while signaling a distinct identity from the more common spelling Abel.
