History & Origin

Gabrial is a transposed spelling of Gabriel, from Hebrew Gavriel, 'God is my strength.' It appeared alongside Gabriel's strong modern rise, the swapped vowels recurring on records, and reached its high near 2007 at close to a hundred boys a year.

A boy named Gabrial at that peak is in his late teens today. The spelling never separated from Gabriel in meaning or sound and reads as a variant of the archangel's name; Gabriel and Gabe are the standard forms parents use.

Did you know? Gabrial swaps the -ie- of Gabriel for -ia- but keeps the archangel intact: Gabriel, 'God is my strength,' the messenger of glad tidings in the Bible.
