The meaning of Abi (1) in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)

a'-bi ('abhi): The name of the mother of King Hezekiah, as given in II Kings 18:2. Most naturally explained as a contraction of Abijah ("Yahweh is a father," or "is my father"), found in the parallel passage in II Chronicles 29:1. The spelling in the oldest translations seems to indicate that 'abhi is not a copyist's error, but a genuine contracted form. She is spoken of as the daughter of Zechariah, and was of course the wife of Ahaz.
