Gavrilla is Slavic in Origin.
Gavrilla is a rare feminine given name in Slavic and Orthodox contexts, built on the Slavic stem Gavril-/Gavriil-, the Eastern Christian equivalents of Gabriel. Ultimately from Hebrew Gavri'el “God is my strength” or “mighty one of God,” it traveled through Greek Gabriel and Church Slavonic Gavriil; the double-l spelling reflects modern transliteration and Anglicization. Though uncommon, it appears sporadically in 19th- and 20th-century parish records across Russia, Ukraine, and the Balkans and among diaspora families honoring an Orthodox heritage.
Related forms include masculine Gabriel, Gavriil, Gavril, and Gavrilo, and feminine Gavrila and Gavriila/Gavriilia, alongside the broader European Gabriella/Gabriela; Ukrainian-influenced spellings may show initial H as Havrylia. Possible diminutives are Gavi, Gava, or Rilla. The name carries the archangelic associations of protection and annunciation; some traditions observe name days on the Synaxis of Archangel Gabriel (March 26 or July 13 in Orthodox calendars) or with the Western feast of the archangels on September 29.
