Re: Origin of these male A names?

ABDIEL: I think, you are right. Like Adriel, he is sometimes considered an archangel (not in the bible though) or one of the Seraphim.
"Abdiel (or Abiel): Abdiel is 6'2" tall with long straight platinum blond hair three inches below shoulders, elf-like grayish blue eyes, and gorgeous features. Abdiel is pictured on Milton's book Paradise Lost as the flaming seraph who routs rebel angels on the first day of fighting in Heaven, and make Satan's reel from his mighty sword stroke. He is a seraphim and ruler of the 9th Heaven."

In case he appears to tall, try this one:
"Abdiel: Just a couple of inches over five feet tall, this man could at first glance be taken for a child. His hair is dark and slightly tousled, his eyes a bright, faintly unreal shade of blue. He wears a well-tailored black suit which makes him resemble an extra from some supernatural version of 'Reservoir Dogs'. When he speaks, his voice is a pleasant, even melodius tenor."

ADRIEL is not a biblical name, but he appears as one of the seven (or sometimes twelve) archangles on various websites (http://www.sarahsarchangels.com/archangels/azrael.html). His name is from the Aramaic verbal root A-D-R (Ayin-Daleth-Resh) which corresponds to Hebrew A-Z-R (Ayin-Zayit-Resh), meaning "help". So the meaning is "God has helped / God helps", the same as Elazar (which in the New Testament appears as Lazarus).
ALEXANDRO: I don't know, what language this should be, because in Italian it's Alessandro and in Spain Alejandro. :—(
"ALIJAH" means "immigration" in Hebrew, literally "ascension". Whether this is a name, I don't know. In modern transscription to English it would be spelt with a Y rather than a J. (But so should Elijah, of which Alija could well be a variant, as you suggest).
ARMINI: There was a dicussion about this name a while ago, so check below or in the archive.
