Hi,
'Gabi' is a diminutive form of Gabriela, which is the feminine equivalent of the Hebrew name, Gabriel, meaning 'God is my strength' or 'man of God'. I suppose the name's interpretation is academic, but Biblically, Gabriel was the archangel God sent to great men of faith such as Daniel, amongst others. Gabriel was also sent to Mary to tell her she was God's chosen vessel for the conception and birth of Christ.
There's something very graceful about the XF that I do not view it as masculine.
Indeed, God IS my strength. Amen!
Craig, there's another 'Craig' on another XF forum, xfforum.com/community. Might that person be you?
