Abergele is a community and compact market town. The significance of the name Abergele can be comprehended by 'aber' being the Welsh word which means estuary, and 'Gele' the name of the river that goes through the town. Gele is a colloquial form of gelau, which means spear, assumed to be characterising the action of the river cutting through the land. It has also been suggested that this river is named because its waters shimmer brilliantly.
