Meaning & History
Latinized form of Ἄβιβος (Abibos) or (Habibos), which is also found written as Ἄββιβος (Abbibos) or (Habbibos). It is a hellenization of the Hebrew name Aviv, and not of the Arabic name Habib, which most people would think at first glance.Notable bearers of this name include the Syrian saints Abibus of Samosata (died in 297 AD) and Abibus of Edessa (died in 322 AD).
