Meaning & Origin
Abimelec is a boy's baby name of Hebrew origin, a Spanish-language form of Abimelech — meaning 'my father is king' or 'the king is my father,' from the Hebrew abi ('my father') + melech ('king'). Multiple significant figures in the Hebrew Bible bore this name.
Abimelec carries the royal paternal declaration of its Hebrew root in a form shaped by Spanish Catholic tradition — a name of divine kingship and filial devotion, worn by biblical leaders and passed into the Spanish-speaking world.
