Bitcoin Cash will be split. The fourth largest Cryptocurrency, itself "branched off" from Bitcoin since August 2017, is scheduled for a "hard fork" on May 15. The update, known as Bitcoin ABC, doubles the block size from eight megabytes to 32 megabytes, and that could help spur further adoption in the wider market.

This simply means that bitcoin cash will have its own split when the hardfork comes. The name for the hardforked bitcoin cash will be Bitcoin ABC. The difference between bitcoin cash and bitcoin abc is that bitcoin abc has a large blocksize than bitcoin cash. If bitcoin cash have a blocksize of 8 megabytes, bitcoin ABC is even more stronger with a blocksize of 32 megabytes.
