Gabrielius

Boy name · 10 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Gabrielius: 10 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 2021.

The name Gabrielius is the Lithuanian form of Gabriel, a classic name with deep biblical roots. Originating from the Hebrew *Gavri’el*, it means “God is my strength,” and in Christian and Jewish traditions, Gabriel is the archangel who announced the births of John the Baptist and Jesus to Zechariah and Mary. Famous bearers include Gabrielius Landsbergis, the Lithuanian politician and former Minister of Foreign Affairs, a descendant of the prominent Landsbergis family. Though there are no direct place connections, the root “Gabriel” appears in place names like San Gabriel in California, inspired by the archangel’s title. A notable variant is the English Gabriel, but Gabrielius offers a melodic, distinctive twist that honours both Lithuanian heritage and the name’s timeless spiritual significance.
