Gabriel

גַּבְרִיאֵל

• Gender: Male
• Origin: Biblical English
• Meaning: God is my strong man, strength of God

• Gabriel is one of the most important archangels in Jewish tradition, appearing in the Book of Daniel as a divine messenger sent to interpret visions and deliver world-changing news. The name means "God is my strength," and it carries a sense of purpose and protection that has resonated with parents for thousands of years. It is one of those rare names that feels both deeply spiritual and completely at ease in the modern world.

  Gabriel LaBelle, who had his bar mitzvah at 15 and went on to play young Steven Spielberg in The Fabelmans, is bringing fresh star power to this angelic name. Strong and tender at once, Gabriel has a rare magic that keeps it from ever falling out of favor. The nickname Gabe keeps things casual and friendly for everyday life while the full name commands a room. Angelic gravitas that works across every culture and still sounds cool on a five-year-old with scraped knees — genuinely rare.
