Gaby

Gaby is a diminutive form of the Hebrew name Gavriel, meaning God is my strength, derived from the elements gavar (strength, hero) and el (God). It functions as an independent given name chiefly in French- and Spanish-speaking cultures, where it serves as a short form for both Gabriel and Gabrielle. The name gained wider international recognition partly through its use as a feminine nickname, though it is given to both boys and girls. Related forms include Gabi, Gabie, Gabriel, and Gabrielle.
