Gavriil is Hebrew in Origin.
Gavriil is the Greek and East Slavic form of Gabriel, from Hebrew Gavri’el (gever “strong man, champion” + ’el “God”), yielding the meaning “God is my strength.” The spelling with a double i reflects the Greek Γαβριήλ and Church Slavonic tradition. Through Byzantine Christianity the name entered Slavic calendars and persisted in Orthodox usage, particularly in Russia and Ukraine, where it retains a solemn, ecclesiastical tone.
Borne by bishops and monks, it appears in hagiography - e.g., Saint Gavriil (Gabriel) of Białystok - and in clerical history such as Metropolitan Gavriil Bănulescu‑Bodoni. Variants and cognates include Gabriel (English, French), Gabriele (Italian), Gavriel (Hebrew), Gavril (Bulgarian/Romanian/Russian), and Gavrilo (Serbian); diminutives include Gavrik and Gavryusha in Russian, and Gabi internationally. Name days in the Orthodox tradition are commonly observed on March 26 (Synaxis of the Archangel after the Annunciation) and July 13. Today Gavriil is uncommon but distinctive and traditional.
