Strong's Lexicon Abdi: Abdi Original Word: עַבְדִּי Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root עֶבֶד (eved), meaning "servant" or "slave," combined with the possessive suffix י (i), meaning "my." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name "Abdi" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper noun. However, the concept of servitude is reflected in Greek words like δοῦλος (doulos), meaning "servant" or "slave." Usage: The name "Abdi" means "my servant" or "servant of Yahweh." It is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying a relationship of servitude or dedication to God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often reflected one's relationship with God or a particular characteristic. The name Abdi, meaning "my servant," would have been a testament to the individual's or family's devotion to God. Servitude in this context is not merely about subjugation but indicates a willing and honored position of service to the divine. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom abad Definition two Isr.
