Abbie is in Origin.
Abbie is an English diminutive of Abigail, from Hebrew Avigayil (avi "father" + gil "joy"), yielding the meaning "my father is joy" or "father's rejoicing." Used as a pet form in early modern English, it later established itself as an independent given name. Though chiefly feminine today, Abbie also appears historically as a boy's nickname for Abraham, Abner, or Abbott, and the related masculine spelling Abie survives.
Adoption of Abigail by 17th-century Puritans in England and New England set the stage for widespread use; by the 18th-19th centuries Abbie/Abby occurs frequently in English-language records. In contemporary data, Abbie rose in Britain and Ireland during the 1990s-2000s alongside Abigail, while in the United States the Abby spelling has generally led. Variant spellings include Abby, Abbey, Abi, Abbi, and Abbye; short forms Gail and Gale derive from the second element of Abigail. The name blends approachable sweetness with enduring biblical heritage.
