What is the meaning of the name Djibril ?

The baby name Djibril is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced jee-BREEL.

Djibril is Arabic, French, Hebrew in Origin.

Djibril is a Francophone spelling of Arabic Jibrīl, the Qur’anic name of Gabriel. Its deeper source is Hebrew Gavri’el, attested in the Book of Daniel, a Northwest Semitic theophoric compound: gever or gabr-, man, warrior, or strength, joined to ʾEl, God. The literal sense is usually interpreted as God is my strength or man of God.

In Islamic usage Jibrīl is the angel who brings revelation to Muhammad, giving the name strong currency in Muslim communities. Djibril reflects French transcription and is especially familiar in Francophone West Africa, alongside Jibril and Jibreel in English-language settings. Gabriel, Gavriel, and Gabriele represent related Jewish and Christian forms. In the United States, SSA records show Djibril as a rare male name, first tracked in the 1990s and most visible in the 2010s.
