Semitic?
Origin
foreign?
Etymology
The name is certainly not Nubian, but sounds Semitic instead. In Arabic, ابلي means 'camel breeder', 'camel driver', but the name in its only attestation is definitely belongs to a woman, which makes such an interpretation highly doubtful. The name is perhaps a variant of Apeli (Nam 200550).
