What is the meaning of the name Gavrah ?

The baby name Gavrah is a Female name , 23 syllables long and is pronounced GAV-rah (English: /ˈɡæv.rə/); variant from Hebrew Gevurah: ge-vu-RAH (Hebrew: /ɡe.vuˈʁa/).

Gavrah is Hebrew in Origin.

Gavrah derives from the Semitic root g-b-r, the source of Hebrew gevurah (“strength, valor”). As a name, it reads as a feminine formation with the -ah ending, closely echoing Gevurah, the Kabbalistic sefirah denoting discipline and courageous might. It also resonates with Gavri’el (Gabriel), which shares the same root and is often glossed “God is my strength.” Accordingly, Gavrah carries meanings such as “strength,” “heroic power,” and “mighty woman.”

Use of Gavrah is rare but visible in modern Hebrew- and English-speaking Jewish circles, sometimes chosen for its spiritual symbolism or as a contemporary counterpart to Gabriella/Gavriella. Variants and related forms include Gevurah, Gavra (from Aramaic gavra, “man; person”), and the cognates Gavriella/Gabriella and Gavriel/Gabriel; in Slavic traditions, Gavrila, Gavril, and Gavrilo are cultural relatives. Spellings vary in Latin letters (Gavrah, Gavra, Gevurah) depending on pronunciation.

Gavrah turns up in none of the birth registries or name datasets we cover. It's the kind of name that tends to be rare, regional, or newly made up. Whatever the reason, hardly anyone else has it.
