What is the meaning of the name Gaby ?

The baby name Gaby is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈɡeɪbi/ (GAY-bee),/ˈɡæbi/ (GAB-ee),/ˈɡabi/ (GAH-bee, Spanish).

Gaby is Hebrew in Origin.

Gaby is a diminutive of the Hebrew-rooted names Gabriel (masculine) and its feminine counterparts Gabrielle and Gabriela. It traces back to Hebrew Gavri'el, from gever "strong, hero" + El "God," yielding the meaning "God is my strength" or "God is my strong one." As a nickname, it uses the common -y/-ie ending found across European languages.

Adopted in French and German circles by the early 20th century, Gaby later spread in English- and Spanish-speaking contexts and now functions both as a pet form and an independent given name. It is technically unisex, though more frequently feminine in English and Romance languages. Variant spellings include Gabby, Gabbie, Gabie, and Gabi (especially Spanish, Portuguese, and German); related full forms are Gabriel, Gabrielle, Gabriela, and Gabriella. Notable bearers include actress Gaby Hoffmann and broadcaster Gaby Roslin, which have helped keep the short form familiar.
