History & Origin

Jabril renders Jibril — the Quranic Gabriel, Hebrew Gavri'el, 'God is my strength' — the archangel of annunciations in the Bible and of the Quran's revelation. The spelling thrives in American Muslim families; football's Jabrill Peppers (double-l) carries a sibling form on Sundays.

It remains uncommon nationally — Gabriel's globalized brother, leaner by a syllable and bowed by no church-or-mosque boundary.

Did you know? In Islamic tradition Jibril dictated the entire Quran to the Prophet over twenty-three years — making this the most talkative angel in any scripture.
