There are two biblical characters named Abihud.

• One of the sons of Bela, the son of Benjamin; called also Ahihud (1 Chronicles 8:3,7).
• A son or grandson of Zerubbabel, and member of the Davidic line. Abihud was the father of Eliakim (Matthew 1:13, "Abiud"), and possibly the same as Obadiah (1 Chronicles 3:21).

The name may also occasionally be romanized as Abioud (Greek) or 'Abiyhuwd (Hebrew).
