Habeel

Habeel is a masculine given name that is also found as a surname among some families. The form is most often encountered in Muslim communities in South Asia and Southeast Asia, and among diaspora communities in Europe and North America. The name is a transliteration variant of the Arabic Habil (also spelled Habīl), a name that appears in Islamic literature as the name of Abel, the brother of Qabil in the Qur'an. As a result, Habeel has been adopted in regions influenced by Arabic and Islamic naming practices, where religious or cultural significance is cited by families when choosing the name. The spelling Habeel reflects local orthography and phonology in some languages, where the double vowel emphasizes a longer first syllable.

Usage and identity: Habeel is typically a male given name. In some cases it may be found as a surname, though such uses are less common and can be found in diverse communities with varying naming conventions.

Variations: Commonly seen variants include Habil and Habīl, among others, depending on language and transliteration systems. See also Abel, Habil, and Habib for related names and cultural contexts.
