From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 Abba
    This Syriac or Chaldee word is found three times in the New
    Testament (Mark 14:36; Rom. 8:15; Gal. 4:6), and in each case is
    followed by its Greek equivalent, which is translated "father."
    It is a term expressing warm affection and filial confidence. It
    has no perfect equivalent in our language. It has passed into
    European languages as an ecclesiastical term, "abbot."

From: Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's)
