Gabby

Gabby is a Hebrew-rooted nickname, a diminutive of Gabrielle or Gabriel, from the Hebrew Gavri'el meaning 'God is my strength' or 'man of God.' The nickname form has a chatty, vivacious quality that has made it a beloved standalone name.

Gabby is a name that tells you exactly what kind of personality to expect: warm, expressive, never at a loss for something to communicate. For pets — especially dogs who are very vocal about their feelings — this is a wonderfully apt name. The underlying meaning, 'God is my strength,' gives Gabby a beautiful contrast: a name that sounds bubbly and social but actually has deep roots. Gabby is perfect for the female pet who greets you at the door with an elaborate story about her day.
