#proper noun

• Abesalom - A masculine proper name of Hebrew origin (Avshalom, meaning 'father of peace'), borne by the third son of King David, famous for his exceptional physical beauty, his extremely long hair, and his tragic death (caught by his hair in the branches of an oak tree during a rebellion against his father). In early psychoanalytic semiology and metaphorical psychopathology, the name has been occasionally used to describe unresolved parental conflicts, destructive narcissistic pride, or the complex of violent rebellion against paternal authority.
• Abisinia - The historical and traditional name under which the Ethiopian Empire and the Horn of Africa region were known in European cartographic, political, and diplomatic documents until the mid-20th century.
