Abigael is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.
… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Abigael is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 3 out of 100,000 girls have been named Abigael. In the SmartGenius ranking, Abigael is #2,986 on the list of most common girls names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Abigael.
In fact, the name Abigael did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Abigael seemed to be more popular than ever in 2002. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,992, 78 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Abigael, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.
In years where the graph has no value, the name Abigael was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
In 2022, expectant parents chose the yet rare name Abigael a few times. Among all newborn girls it ranked #3,505 - with a total of 37 baby girls. This means, as you can see above, that the name is still more common than it was most time of the last century, when it supposedly didn't appear at all for many years - giving girls with this first name a sheen of something particularly contemporary and special.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Abigael are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %.

Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter A is the most popular first letter for girls’ names. 11.8% of all common girls’ names in the US start with this letter. The second most common first letter in girls' names is S.
With seven letters, the name Abigael has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight letters or more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that if 11.8% of all girls' names start with an A, this initial letter occurs over three times as often as all other letters on average. And, by the way, of all the girls' names that begin with the letter A, the name Ashley is the most common.
If your name is Abigael and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
