Gabriel
Hebrew · “Gabriel is derived from the Hebrew Gavriel (גַּבְרִיאֵל) meaning "God is my strength" or "man of God," composed of gavar (strength, hero) and El (God). In Jewish, Christian, and Islamic tradition, Gabriel is the archangel who serves as God's primary messenger, announcing the birth of John the Baptist and Jesus in the New Testament and dictating the Quran to Muhammad in Islam.”
Gabriela
Polish · “Gabriela is the feminine form of Gabriel, derived from the Hebrew Gavriel meaning "God is my strength." It is the standard feminine form used in Polish, Czech, Slovak, Bulgarian, Romanian, Spanish, and Portuguese. The name carries all the biblical resonance of the archangel Gabriel while taking on a distinctly feminine character across Slavic and Romance language cultures.”

Jessica
“Coined by William Shakespeare for his play The Merchant of Venice (1596–1598), where it is the name of Shylock's daughter. Shakespeare likely adapted it from the Hebrew Yiskah (Iscah in the King James Bible), meaning "God beholds" or "she who looks out," appearing in Genesis as a niece of Abraham. Jessica remained rare after Shakespeare's use but surged dramatically in the 20th century to become one of the most popular English feminine names of the 1970s–1990s.”
Madalyn
“A variant spelling of Madeline or Madeleine, from the French form of Magdalene — from the place name Magdala on the Sea of Galilee, meaning "tower" in Hebrew (from migdal). Mary Magdalene, one of the most prominent women in the New Testament, gave her name lasting reverence and widespread use across the Christian world. Madalyn is a simplified American phonetic spelling that emerged in the 20th century.”
Zachary
“The English form of the Hebrew Zechariah, meaning "God has remembered" — from zakar ("to remember") and Yah (a form of the divine name). It was the name of a prophet in the Old Testament and of the father of John the Baptist in the New Testament. Zachary became the common English form, partly through medieval use and partly through its American revival in the 19th and 20th centuries, boosted by President Zachary Taylor.”
Jane
“The English feminine form of John, via the Old French Jehane, from the Medieval Latin Johanna, from the Hebrew Yohanan, meaning "God is gracious." Jane has been in continuous English use since the 16th century and became one of the most enduring feminine names in the language, valued for its plain clarity and quiet strength. Its simplicity was long contrasted with fancier names, making it a byword for unadorned virtue.”
Bethany
“From the Hebrew Beit Anya, meaning "house of figs" or possibly "house of affliction" or "house of the poor" — from beit ("house") and te'ena ("fig tree") or aniya ("affliction"). Bethany was the village near Jerusalem where Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead and the home of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. The place name was adopted as a given name by English Christians in the 20th century, particularly in America, and carries a gentle biblical warmth.”
Elia
“A contracted form of Elijah or Elias, from the Hebrew "Eliyahu" meaning "my God is Yahweh". Elia is the Italian and Aramaic form of the name, used across Jewish, Christian, and sometimes Islamic communities as a versatile and elegantly brief rendering of this ancient prophetic name.”
