A biblical name (King Saul's general), sometimes used colloquially or as a character name in American popular culture.
From Hebrew 'Avner,' meaning 'father of light.' The name appears in the Hebrew Bible as a significant military and political figure in ancient Israel.
Abner is probably most famous today from the Li'l Abner comic strip, which ran for decades and used a colorful rural American dialect that influenced how people wrote funny comics. The name itself carries history from ancient kingdoms.
