According to the Hebrew Bible and the Qur'an, Cain and Abel were the first and, possibly, second sons of Adam and Eve, born after the Fall of Man (the only other child of Adam and Eve to be named in the Bible was Seth). Their story is told in the Hebrew Bible at Genesis 4 and in the Qur'an at 5:27-32. In both versions Cain commits the first murder by killing his brother after God rejects his sacrifice but accepts Abel's. Genesis puts some emphasis on the occupations of the brothers; Abel tends flocks while Cain is a farmer.
once common English folk etymology held that Abel was composed from ab and el, effectively meaning source of God. However, this is a fallacy, as the original Hebrew only contains the three letters HVL (×Ö¸×Ö¶×), which is quite different from ABEL (××××). Biblically, the word Hevel (Abel) appears in Ecclesiastes in a context implying it should be translated "pointless" (the King James Version translates it as "vanity", which at the time of translation had the same English meaning, but does no longer), and also appears, in the masoretic text, at 1 Samuel (at 6:18) apparently with the meaning "lamentation". Both Biblical uses are traditionally taken to imply that Abel's name is a pun, in reference to Abel's brief life.

*The Abel Prize is awarded annually by the King of Norway to outstanding mathematicians.
*ABEL is an industry-standard hardware description language (HDL) that was developed by Data I/O Corporation for programmable logic devices (PLD). There are other hardware description languages such as VHDL and Verilog.
*In 1824 Abel proved the impossibility of solving algebraically the general equation of the fifth degree.
*Abel was a shepherd. Cain offered to God the fruits of his labor; so did Abel. God favored Abel, whereupon Cain was wroth and his face fell.
*Abel was the second son of Adam.

He was the son of the first man to walk the planet, Adam. (Eve was his mother).
He also had a brother Cain, who later killed him.
