Γαβριὴλ
Gabriḗl
Gabriel
Gabriḗl is used as a proper noun referring to a supernatural messenger or herald, named Gabriel. In the Greek Bible, this figure is consistently portrayed as one of the principal messengers (sometimes termed an 'angel' or 'archangel') who communicates divine messages, especially significant revelations regarding Israelite or Judean affairs. The name itself carries a sense of 'person (man/strength) of El (God),' but in Greek contexts refers specifically to this figure rather than functioning as a common noun.
