Gabe is Hebrew in Origin.
Gabe is the familiar English short form of Gabriel, from Hebrew Gavri'el: gever/gibbor (“mighty, strong man”) + El (“God”), yielding the meaning “God is my strength” or “strength of God.” The name traveled into European languages through Greek Gabriēl and Latin Gabriel, carried by the archangel revered in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic tradition - appearing in the Book of Daniel and as the messenger of the Annunciation.
As a given name in its own right, Gabe appears in U.S. records from the 19th century and has seen periodic favor alongside the broader trend of friendly, nickname-style first names. While often an informal call name for Gabriel, it stands alone in modern English-speaking contexts. Related forms include Gabriel (standard), Gabriele (Italian), Gavriel (Hebrew), Gavriil (Russian), Gábor (Hungarian), Jibril (Arabic); feminine counterparts are Gabrielle, Gabriela, and Gabriella. Pet forms include Gabby and Gabi.
