Origin and meaning of Abele
Abele is the Italian form of Abel, from the Hebrew Hevel, 'breath, vapour,' an image of life's fragility and brevity. In the Bible he is the second son of Adam and Eve, a shepherd killed by his brother Cain: the first innocent of sacred history. Rare as a given name in Italy, it is more frequent as Abel in Spanish-, French- and English-speaking countries. With its soft, ancient sound, it holds a strong spiritual meaning of purity and innocence.
