Worldwide, Abei (Abei , Абэ ) is quite a rare gender-neutral forename. The forename Abei is habitual in Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Cameroon, where it is a rare female name, Ghana, where it is a rare masculine name, and Ethiopia, where it is a rare epicene name. In absolute terms, the name is most common in India, Ethiopia, and Cameroon. Very seldom, Abei is the last name as well as the forename.
Abei is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Abe , the fictional character, Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus; Abe Carver , the fictional character on the long-running American soap opera Days of Our Lives and Abe Brown .
