Gabriel
Gabriel is a name often seen in the Bible. This Hebrew name comes from the Hebrew name Gabhri’el, which is derived from its elements ‘gebher’, meaning ‘man’, and ‘El’, translating to ‘God’, ‘Yahweh’. Thus, the meaning of Gabriel is ‘man of God’. Another origin uses the word ‘gabhar’, which means ‘strong’, ‘fit’, and hence Gabriel means ‘the strong man of God’. Gabriel is a part of the seven archangels of God. He is the guardian angel of Israel and defends their people against the angels of other lands. Gabriel appeared to Zechariah and forecasted the arrival of John the Baptist. He had also prophesied the birth of Jesus to Virgin Mary. Gabriel is a saint in many Christian traditions. Harvey Specter of the show 'Suits', Gabriel Macht and Irish actor Gabriel Byrne are some of the most notable Gabriels. Gabriel Iglesias aka Fluffy is one of America’s best comedians.
