The variant used in the Russian language as a Christian name is "А́бо" (Abo). It is possible that the Russian name was derived from the Biblical Hebrew word meaning father, but it is also possible that it was derived from av, the name of a Hebrew month.

According to the 2000 U.S. Census, Abo is an uncommon first name but a fairly common last name for both men and women; ranking 53,205 out of 88,799.
