Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Abda in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper Hebrew name. However, the concept of servitude is captured in Greek by words like δοῦλος (doulos), meaning "servant" or "slave." Usage: The name "Abda" means "servant" or "servant of Yahweh." It is used as a proper name for individuals in the Old Testament, signifying a person dedicated to service, often in a religious or spiritual context. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of a person's character or role. The root עָבַד (avad) is commonly associated with servitude or worship, reflecting the cultural importance of serving God and community.
