Origin and etymology of the name

Scholarly onomastic and linguistic analysis
Linguistic explanation and meaning

The name Abdon is traditionally interpreted as 'servant', related to the Hebrew verb meaning 'to serve'.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Pochádza z hebrejského osobného mena עַבְדּוֹן (ʿAḇdōn), súvisiaceho s koreňom עבד (ʿ-b-d) s významom „slúžiť, pracovať“ a s podstatným menom עֶבֶד (ʿeḇeḏ) „sluha, služobník, otrok“. Tradične sa vykladá ako „služobník“; lexikografické výklady zahŕňajú aj významy „služba, služobnosť“. Výklad „Boží služobník“ predstavuje náboženskú interpretáciu, pretože meno neobsahuje výslovné pomenovanie Boha.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Etymológia: Strongov lexikón, H5658, a heslo BDB. Biblický nositeľ a podoba Abdón: Slovenský ekumenický preklad, Sdc 12,13–15. Skloňovanie je aplikáciou vzoru chlap podľa Morfológie slovenského jazyka. Ustálené slovenské domácke podoby sa v preverovaných zdrojoch nepodarilo doložiť; Abdonko je slovotvorne možná podoba, ale jej bežné používanie nebolo overené. Bez údajov o početnosti sa neuvádza hodnotenie zriedkavosti. Konkrétny výklad mena v diele Milana Majtána nebol overený.
