What is the meaning of the name Gabriella ?

The baby name Gabriella is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced English (US): /ˌɡæbriˈɛlə/ (guh-BREE-el-uh); Italian: /ɡabˈriɛlla/ (gah-bree-EL-lah).

Gabriella is Hebrew in Origin.

Gabriella is the Italian feminine form of Gabriel, now used across many languages, from Hebrew Gavri’el, combining gever “strong one/hero” with ’El “God,” hence “God is my strength.” Long tied to veneration of the Archangel Gabriel - the messenger of the Annunciation - it appears in European records from the Middle Ages, with the archangels’ feast observed on 29 September in the Western calendar.

The name traveled widely and surged in use from the late 20th century in Italy, Hungary, Latin America, and the United States. Established variants include Gabriela (Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Czech), Gabrielle (French and English), Gabriele (German feminine), and Gavriela/Gavriella (Hebrew); related short forms are Gabi/Gaby, Gabby, Ella, and Briella. While Spanish favors Gabriela, Italian and Hungarian typically use Gabriella. The blend of biblical depth and a lyrical -ella ending gives it a timeless-yet-modern profile, supported by high-visibility bearers such as Princess Gabriella of Monaco and numerous actresses and athletes.
