Jabril

Meaning of Jabril

Jabril is the Arabic form of the name Gabriel, rooted in the Hebrew words for “God is my strength” and widely revered in Islamic tradition as the archangel who brought divine revelations. In English usage it is pronounced /dʒaˈbriːl/, offering a slightly uncommon alternative to its more familiar counterparts. U.S. Social Security data over the past two decades place Jabril consistently between the 800th and 900th ranks, with 34 newborn boys receiving the name in 2024—an indication of modest yet steady interest. This pattern suggests that Jabril appeals to parents seeking a name with deep historical and spiritual resonance that remains distinctive without feeling overly unconventional.
