Avdi'el (personal name: 'servant of El')
A Gadite name meaning 'servant of El,' found in the genealogies of Transjordanian tribes. Avdiel was an ancestor of Buz, one of the chiefs of Gad. Like the similar name Avdeel, this theophoric form appears widely in Northwest Semitic inscriptions from Phoenicia, Nabatea, and South Arabia, testifying to the common practice of naming children as devotees of the high god.
