Gaby

Gaby is a French and Spanish diminutive of Gabrielle or Gabriel, which derive from the Hebrew name Gavri'el, meaning God is my strength or God is my warrior. The name ultimately traces back to the Hebrew roots gevir, meaning strong or mighty, and El, the word for God. Gabriel figures prominently in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic tradition as an archangel and divine messenger, lending the diminutive Gaby a wide cultural reach across Europe and Latin America.
