Avimelech

אֲבִימֶלֶךְ

• Gender: Male
• Origin: Biblical / Rabbinic Hebrew
• Meaning: my father is king

• Avimelech means "my father is king" and appears multiple times in the Bible, most notably as the Philistine king who crossed paths with both Abraham and Isaac. The name weaves together family devotion and royal stature, carrying a sense of patriarchal honor that resonates across the biblical narrative. It is a name with undeniable presence — the kind you hear once and do not forget.

  Grand, historic, and unapologetically biblical, this is a maximalist name in the best sense. It shares the beloved Avi- prefix with gentler choices like Avital or Avidan but pushes the scale all the way to commanding. A child named Avimelech will never have to spell it for someone twice and then watch them forget it anyway — this one sticks.
