The baby name Gabriele is a Male name , 43 syllables long and is pronounced Italian: gah-BREE-eh-leh (IPA: /ɡaˈbriːele/); German: gah-BREE-luh (IPA: /ɡaˈbriːlə/).

Gabriele is Germanic, Hebrew in Origin.

From the Hebrew name Gavri’el (gever/warrior, strength + El “God”), Gabriele means “God is my strength” or “hero of God.” In Italian it is the standard masculine form corresponding to English Gabriel, while in German-speaking countries Gabriele is a feminine given name; French uses Gabrielle for the feminine. The name is anchored in Judeo‑Christian and Islamic tradition through the archangel who delivers divine messages.

Used across Europe since the Middle Ages via biblical naming, it has been especially steady in Italy - borne by figures such as poet Gabriele D’Annunzio - and familiar in German lands for women (e.g., painter Gabriele Münter). Related forms include Gabriel, Gabriela/Gabriella/Gabrielle, Gavriel (Hebrew), Gavriil/Gavril/Gavrilo (Slavic), and Jibril (Arabic). Short forms include Gabe (English), Gabi/Gaby (German feminine), and the Italian Gabrio.
