Abataly (Russian: Абата́лий) is an old and rare Russian male first name.[1] Included into various, often handwritten, church calendars throughout the 17th–19th centuries, it was omitted from the official Synodal Menologium at the end of the 19th century.[2] It is possibly derived from Abtalion, or from a Greek word meaning a sanctuary, a temple.[1]
