Across the world, אבוט (Abbott , Abbot , אבוט ) is quite a rare primarily boy's, but scarcely feminine forename. The forename אבוט is habitual in the United States, where it is a rare boy's name, Israel, where it is a rare dominantly masculine, but infrequently girly name, and Nigeria, where it is a rare gender-neutral name. In absolute terms, it most frequently occurs in the United States, Nigeria, and China. Much more prevalently, אבוט is the last name as well as the forename.
אבוט is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Abbot , the operatic character in the opera Curlew River by Benjamin Britten and Abbot , the operatic character in the opera Taverner by Peter Maxwell Davies.
