Pronounced ah-vee-GAH-yeel in Israel and ah-vee-GAH-yul by Ashkenazis in America. I have no idea why people downvoted the other comment that said this - it's a Hebrew name, popular in Israel, and the Hebrew script written here is clearly read that way. If you say it to rhyme with Abigail that's just not this name.

Avigail is my daughter's name. I really wanted to name her after my grandmother who was named Sandra Gail. And I loved the name Abigail but wanted something different (and Hebrew was a plus). We call her Avigail most of the time, and Avi is her nickname (pronounced Ah-vee).
The only downside: when people ask what her name is, they think we say Abigail and we constantly have to correct them. It's Avigail with a V people!

Avigayil means "Father's Joy" in Hebrew. In the Bible, Avigayil was one of the wives of King David, as well as a prophetess.

This is my first name, and I think that it is beautiful. The English version, Abigail, is nice too, but I love this Hebrew name.
