Gavriel

גַּבְרִיאֵל

• Gender: Male
• Origin: Biblical / Rabbinic Hebrew
• Meaning: God is my strong man, strength of God

• Gavriel is the original Hebrew form of Gabriel, the archangel who served as one of God's most important messengers in Jewish tradition. The name means "God is my strong man" or "strength of God," and it carries the full spiritual weight of a figure who appears at pivotal moments throughout scripture. In observant Jewish communities, Gavriel has always been a beloved classic, valued for its deep roots and the irresistible nickname Gavi.

  Gabriel LaBelle — whose name is the English form of Gavriel — was raised Jewish in Vancouver and burst onto the scene playing young Steven Spielberg in 'The Fabelmans.' Rich and resonant, with a weight that matches its angelic pedigree — this is Gabriel before the world softened it. The nickname Gavi is warm and playful, making it versatile across every stage of life. For parents who love Gabriel but want a version that announces its Hebrew identity with pride, Gavriel is the definitive original.
