Gabriel is a Hebrew masculine name meaning, “God is my strength.” This versatile Biblical choice has not dropped out of the US top 1000 since 1900 and was most popular in 2010 at #21. He now sits at #38 and, in my opinion, still feels fresh.

    Gabriel is a top name for baby boys in France, Brazil, Belgium, and Switzerland. He is well liked in other countries as well. 

    Pronunciation can vary depending on language spoken. In English speaking countries, he is most commonly pronounced GAY-bree-el.
