What is the meaning of the name Jibriel ?

The baby name Jibriel is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /dʒɪbˈriːəl/ (JIB-REE-el).

Jibriel is Arabic in Origin.

Jibriel is a modern English transliteration of Arabic Jibrīl (جبريل/جبرئيل), the Arabic form of Gabriel derived from Hebrew Gavri’el, “God is my strength.” In Islam, Jibrīl is the archangel of revelation who brought the Qur’an to the Prophet Muhammad and messages to earlier prophets, making the name deeply revered. As a given name, it has been used across the Muslim world since the earliest centuries of Islam and remains common from the Middle East and North Africa to South Asia and the diaspora.

Common variants include Jibril, Jibreel, Jibra’il, and Francophone Djibril; related forms are Gibril in West Africa, Turkish Cebrail, Persian Jebrail, and Malay/Indonesian Jibril. The spelling Jibriel adapts the Arabic sound to English orthography and is found in diaspora communities. Predominantly masculine, it may shorten to Jib or Jibi; cross-language equivalents include Gabriel (English/Spanish) and Gabriele (Italian).
