Meaning: Father of light; God is my light

Abna may be a variation of Abner, a Hebrew name meaning “father of light.” In the Bible, Abner was the uncle of Saul and the commander of his army. Abner is also an English surname that comes from the biblical first name meaning “God is my light” in Hebrew, which was popular among New England Puritans as well as those in the southern states. This name is fitting for anyone looking to raise their baby with faith. Of course, it works just as well outside of the religious context, serving as a reminder to be the light in others’ lives.
