ORIGIN & HISTORY

About the name

"God is my strength," inherited from Gabrielle, itself the French feminine form of Gabriel, from Hebrew elements gever ("strong man") and ʾel ("God").

  1. Gabriel (Hebrew, underlying root).
  2. Mythological and religious contextBrielle's root name, Gabriel, is one of the principal archangels in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic tradition, most famously associated with the Annunciation to Mary in the Christian Gospels. Brielle inherits this religious weight indirectly, through its status as a short form of the feminine Gabrielle.
