What is the meaning of the name Gavriela ?

The baby name Gavriela is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced /ɡævriˈɛlə/ (GA-vree-EL-uh).

Gavriela is Hebrew in Origin.

Gavriela is the Hebrew feminine form of Gabriel, from Gavri’el (g-b-r “strength, might” + El “God”), conveying “God is my strength” or “mighty one of God.” The spelling with v reflects modern Hebrew transliteration, where the letter bet without dagesh sounds like v. While the archangel Gabriel anchors the name in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic scripture, the explicitly feminine Gavriela emerges in later, post-biblical naming traditions.

Used primarily in Israel and Jewish diaspora communities, Gavriela sits alongside cognates popular across Europe: Italian Gabriella, Spanish/Polish/Portuguese/Czech Gabriela, and French Gabrielle. English-speaking countries favor Gabriella/Gabrielle, which surged in the late 20th century; Gavriela remains the rarer, heritage-forward choice. Variants include Gavriella and Gabriella/Gabriela; short forms span Gabi/Gaby/Gabby, Brie, and Ella. The name balances angelic resonance with a strong, modern sound.
