French, feminine variation of Gabriel, Hebrew

Gabrielle Origin and Meaning

The name Gabrielle is a girl's name of French origin meaning "God is my Strength".

The quintessentially elegant and worldly Gabrielle -- designer Coco Chanel's real name -- is on its descent after years on the rise.

Gabrielle was a hit in the 90s and early 2000s, peaking at number 46 in 1999. Popular nickname options include Gabby, Bri, and Brielle.

Today Gabriella has taken over as the more popular version and has remained in the Top 100 since the turn of this century, while Gabrielle dropped out of the Top 500. This follows a collective trend of "-a" ending version surpassing the more tailored versions, similar to how Daniela replaced Danielle and Isabella took over from Isabel.

Now we think the pendulum is starting to swing back and Gabrielle sounds more chic, if not as trendy.
