Abel (English) = הבל in Hebrew and transliterated as "Hebel" - Strong's Concordance Word # 1893 in the Hebrew dictionary.
Seth (English) = שת in Hebrew and transliterated as "Sheth" - Strong's Concordance Word # 8352 in the Hebrew dictionary.
Cain means "possession" in Hebrew
Abel means "breath" in Hebrew and
Seth means "compensation" in Hebrew (as the 'replacement' for Abel).
