History & Origin
Magaby is a Latin American affectionate name, most often combining the Maga of María Gabriela with the Gaby of Gabriela, or serving as a fond short form of Magdalena. Its meaning follows the parent name — Gabriela, 'God is my strength', or Magdalena, 'of Magdala'.
As a nickname given as a birth name, Magaby is very recent and rare in the U.S., appearing only in the twenty-tens. It stays within Latino families and is best understood as a pet form of Gabriela or Magdalena rather than an independent name.
