Gavrielle
Gavrielle Origin and Meaning
Gavrielle is the feminine form of Gabriel, with French influence in its spelling. The name derives from the Hebrew name Gabriel, meaning "God is my strength" or "God's able-bodied one." Gabriel appears as an archangel in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions. While Gabriel has been common for boys for centuries, the feminine versions like Gabrielle and Gavrielle emerged later and have been less widely used. The spelling with "v" rather than "b" reflects Hebrew and Russian transliteration influences, creating a unique variation that maintains the name's biblical roots while offering a distinctive quality. Gavrielle has never been common in English-speaking countries but appeals to parents seeking a name with spiritual significance, feminine elegance, and a slightly unconventional spelling that sets it apart from the more frequently used Gabrielle.
