Abadir is a polysemous name attested in distinct cultural contexts: a legendary founding saint and clan ancestor in eastern Ethiopia (Sheikh Abadir Umar Al‑Rida / Aw Abadir), a term applied to cone‑shaped cult stones in Phoenician religious description, and a personal name of a martyr (Abadir/Apater) in the Coptic Synaxarium. The attestations are independent usages of the same name rather than a single supernatural being.
Abadiu of Antinoe was a fourth‑century bishop of Antinoe (Antinoopolis, in Roman Egypt) commemorated as a martyr and saint in the Coptic Orthodox Church, with a feast day on 26 December.

Abel is the second son of Adam and Eve in the Genesis narrative, a shepherd whose accepted offering and subsequent murder by his brother Cain form the biblical account of the first death.

Abijah (also Abijam or Abiah) is presented in the biblical and later interpretive traditions as a short-reigning human king of Judah from the Davidic line. He is portrayed as a dynastic successor whose military actions (notably the battle at Mount Zemaraim) and moral evaluation in rabbinic literature are interpreted theologically in relation to the Davidic covenant.
Abimelech is a Hebrew personal name and occasionally a regnal title attested in the Hebrew Bible and later traditions. It appears as the name/title of Philistine rulers in the patriarchal narratives (the "king of Gerar" who interacts with Abraham and Isaac) and as the personal name of Abimelech son of Jerubbaal (Gideon) in Judges, a dynastic usurper whose brief rule ends in violent death.

The supplied materials do not present Abishai as a supernatural being within a living cosmology.
An apocalyptic prophetic phrase originating in the Book of Daniel designating a profaning thing or act that renders the Jerusalem Temple cult desolate; later reused in the Synoptic Gospels as an eschatological sign prompting urgent flight. The term denotes ritual/cultic impurity (Hebrew shiqquts) and is variously interpreted as pagan offerings or altar, a foreign cult statue, or (in some New Testament readings) an acting agent.
Abraham (originally Abram) is the foundational patriarchal ancestor in the Hebrew Bible whose life establishes a covenantal relationship between his family/people and God. He functions as an exemplar of faith, the progenitor of promised descendants, and a narrative anchor for claims of land, blessing, and communal identity in later religious traditions.

In the Hebrew Bible (Genesis 1–5) Adam is the first human, both as an individual progenitor and as a term for humankind. Created by God from the dust of the ground and animated by God's breath, Adam is placed in the Garden of Eden, names the animals, receives divine command, disobeys with Eve, and fathers the first named human descendants (Cain, Abel, Seth).
Adam and Eve are the primordial human pair in the Abrahamic creation narratives who function as the first man and woman, placed in the Garden of Eden to steward creation. Their eating of the forbidden fruit produces a changed human condition—knowledge of good and evil, shame, pain, labor, mortality—and their story underpins later doctrines such as the Christian doctrine of original sin while being read differently across Jewish and Islamic traditions.
Adonai (אֲדֹנָי) is one of the sacred Hebrew names used in Judaism to refer reverently to the singular God. It functions as a liturgical and devotional substitute or form for the divine Name and is treated with linguistic and ritual care in Jewish practice; it also appears in Christian liturgy (e.g., the Advent antiphon “O Adonai”).

In Gnostic religious systems an Aeon is a divine emanation or hypostasis that issues from the supreme divine source and together with other Aeons composes the Pleroma, the realm or fullness of divine reality.

Aeternitas is the Roman divine personification of eternity, cultivated as an abstract virtue in the official Imperial cult and invoked especially to express the perpetual duration of imperial rule (Aeternitas Imperii).

Ahasuerus is a royal personal name in the Hebrew Bible applied to one or more kings of Persia, most prominently the monarch who rules from Susa in the Book of Esther.

Aitolos is a name that appears in Greek-language traditions referring to two distinct figures: Aetolus, a mythic genealogical ancestor in classical Greek myth (son of Endymion, descendant of Deucalion), and Kosmas Aitolos (St. Cosmas of Aetolia), a historical/hagiographic Orthodox teacher whose collected writings emphasize pastoral and ascetical themes. The sources do not present Aitolos as a single folkloric supernatural being.

A titulary formula and visual symbol formed from the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet (Α/α and Ω/ω), used in Christian scripture and art to denote God's or Christ's totality — 'the beginning and the end.'
