Abi is also used as a masculine name in English, as a diminutive of Abraham, Abram, Albert, Abel, etc. Abi is also used as a unisex diminutive of Abijah. However, it's more common for females. So, I think that the "Gender" of this name should be updated from "Feminine" to "Feminine & Masculine".Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abby

Abi was a shortened form of Abijah, and was the nickname of a queen of Judah.

Kind of looks to me like an Arabic guys' name. I know it's not, it just looks like one. I know of several Abis spelling their names like this, and I'm not from Scotland, so this should also be listed as an English name. Would never use it. I can't stand Abigail or Abby spelled any way. Except MAYBE Abbey.

I really do not like this spelling, looks tacky and incomplete. Although I prefer it to Abigail. I prefer Abbie (the way my name is spelt) or Abby.

Like this name to some extent. It is a little too short for me.

Cute. But only as a nickname for Abigail or another similar name. Not as a full name.

Abi is another name for GOD. It means the Superior One or the Creator. Abi is the name given in 2 Kings 18:2 to the mother of Hezekiah, king of Judah. The name translates as "my father," and is probably a shortened version of the name. The parallel verse in 2 Chronicles 29:1 gives this name as Abijah (NRSV, other versions use Abiah or Abia), which means "God is my father."

My name is Abigail and I went by Abby for most of my life but when I moved to Spain I started spelling it Abi so it was easier to understand in Spanish.

It's okay I guess. Don't like Abigail though.
