I can believe that tha ABBA star doesnt know from whence the NAME of the Band ABBA came form...

Abba is the transliteration of the Aramaic word for father. It occurs three times in the New Testament. It is always used as a direct address to God the Father

WOOPS

Actually, ABBA’s name was formed from the first names of the band’s members....Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny, and Ani-Frid.

That it happens to be the same as the name as the Aramaic name of “Daddy” is coincidental.

Does that have any connection to the name Abdulla?
