• Obadiah — A Romanian masculine given name of biblical origin, today very rare or archaic, translated from Hebrew as 'servant of Yahweh' or 'worshiper of God'; it is the name of a minor prophet from the Old Testament (Prophet Obadiah), the author of a short prophetic book. In Romania, it circulated within ecclesiastical and rural communities, turning over time into a fixed surname through patronymic inheritance.
• Abel — A Romanian and international masculine given name of biblical origin, an adapted form related to the name Abel, translated from Hebrew as 'breath', 'vapor', or 'ephemeral being'; in the Old Testament, Abel is the second son of Adam and Eve, the righteous shepherd killed out of jealousy by his brother Cain. In Romania, the variant Avel circulated especially within Transylvanian and Banat rural communities, being also preserved as a surname.
• Absalom — A Romanian masculine given name of biblical origin, adapted from the Hebrew Absalom (meaning 'father is peace' or 'father of peace'); in the Old Testament, it is the name of King David's third son, renowned for his exceptional beauty and his tragic rebellion against his own father. In Romanian onomastics, the variant Avesalom historically circulated within ecclesiastical circles and traditional communities, being encountered today as a rare literary given name or surname.
• Absalom — A masculine proper name of Hebrew origin (Avshalom), etymologically translated as 'my father is peace' or 'father of peace'.

• Abraham — A masculine proper name of Hebrew origin (Avraham), etymologically translated as 'father of many nations' or 'father of multitudes'.
