Origin and meaning of Gabriella
Gabriella is the feminine of Gabriele, going back to the Hebrew Gavri'el, 'God is my strength' or 'hero of God' — the name of the announcing archangel. It blends sweetness with spiritual strength. Common in Italy, Hungary and Scandinavia, it appears as Gabriela across the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking world. Parents love its airy sound and its enduring, never-dated religious resonance.
