What Does the Name Gabriella Mean?
Gabriella is the feminine form of Gabriel, a name that comes from the Hebrew Gavri'el (גַּבְרִיאֵל). It is built from two elements: geber (גֶּבֶר), meaning "man" or "strong man," and El (אֵל), meaning "God." The common translation is "God is my strength," but the same elements are also rendered "man of God" or "strong man of God," since the exact grammatical connection between the two parts is not settled. Gabriella itself is the Italian feminine of Gabriel, formed with the Italian feminine ending -ella; the Italian masculine forms behind it are Gabriele and Gabriello.
Gabriella Name History & Origins
The root name Gabriel appears in the Hebrew Bible in the Book of Daniel, where Gabriel is an angel who explains visions to Daniel. In the Gospel of Luke, Gabriel appears again as the angel who announces the coming births of John the Baptist and Jesus. Islamic tradition knows the same figure as Jibril, the angel said to have brought the Quran to Muhammad. Through these scriptural roles the name Gabriel entered wide use in Christian Europe, and feminine forms grew up alongside it in the Romance languages.
Gabriella belongs to that Italian branch, alongside the French Gabrielle, the Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, and Romanian Gabriela, and the Hebrew feminine Gavriela. English speakers have adopted Gabriella largely through Italian and, in the closely related French spelling Gabrielle, through French, so the two feminine forms live side by side in English with different pronunciations.
