Gabriele
Gabriele Origin and Meaning
Gabriele is a feminine name in English-speaking countries, though it functions as a masculine name in Italian. It derives from the Hebrew name Gabriel, meaning 'God is my strength' or 'strong one of God.' In biblical tradition, Gabriel was one of the archangels who served as a messenger of God. The feminine form Gabriele (pronounced gah-bree-EL-eh in Italian, but often as GAB-ree-el in English) offers a softer alternative to the more common Gabriella or Gabrielle. The name carries a sense of spiritual strength while maintaining an elegant, international quality. Gabriele has moderate popularity in Italy and other European countries but remains relatively uncommon in English-speaking regions, giving it a distinctive yet recognizable quality for girls.
