Looking about, I've found sources explaining the etymology of "Abel-Chermim" as "Plain" or "Meadow" of the vineyards. However, I have been unable to find any suggestion that "Brook" might be involved in the etymology. The Hebrews word used in the Bible for brook (unless there are more I don't know about) are 'aphiq, mikhal, nachal, and ye'or. None of them look even remotely related to 'Abel.' That's why I'm removing brook from the etymology section. But if anyone finds any reason why it should be there, I'll put it back up there right away.
