[[Ab (Semitic)|Abba]], an originally Aramaic form borrowed into the Greek Old Testament as a name (2Chr 29:1) [standing for the Hebrew ''Abijah'' ({{Script/Hebrew|אביה}})], common in [[Mishnaic Hebrew]] and still used in [[Modern Hebrew]]<ref name="Greenspahn, Frederick E 2003. P.25">Greenspahn, Frederick E. 2003. An introduction to Aramaic. P.25</ref> (written Αββά[ς] in Greek, and ''’abbā'' in Aramaic), is immediately followed by the Greek equivalent (Πατήρ) with no explicit mention of it being a translation. In Aramaic, it would be אבא.

Note, the name [[Barabbas]] is a [[Hellenization]] of the Aramaic ''Bar Abba'' (בר אבא), literally "Son of the Father".
