What is the meaning of the name Jibrael ?

The baby name Jibrael is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced jih-BRAH-el (stress on the second syllable).

Jibrael is Arabic in Origin.

Jibrael is an Arabic- and Persian-influenced transliteration of Jibra'il, the Quranic name of the archangel Gabriel. Ultimately from Hebrew Gavri'el, built from gever "strong one, man" + el "God," it means "God is my strength."

Used across the Islamic world as a theophoric given name honoring the messenger of revelation - who, in Islamic tradition, delivered the Quran to the Prophet Muhammad and announced Jesus's birth to Mary. As a personal name, it appears in records from the early Islamic centuries and remains favored in contemporary Muslim communities. While less common than the spellings Jibril and Jibreel, Jibrael is found in South Asian and Middle Eastern usage. Cognates and variants include Gabriel (English, French), Gavriel (Hebrew), Gabriele (Italian), Gabriel (Dutch), Cebrail (Turkish), Jibril/Jibreel/Jibriil (Arabic, Urdu, Somali), and Jebrail (Persian). Diminutives are rare; some families use Gabe or Gabi in multilingual contexts.
