Gavrilla combines biblical gravitas with a distinctively feminine ending, creating a name that sounds both ancient and fresh. The name remains quite rare in English-speaking countries but may have more usage in Russian, Hebrew, or other Eastern European naming traditions. It appeals to parents seeking a spiritual name with strong meaning that isn't commonly heard.
