Meaning & origin
Jabri is a rare and modern masculine name, first recorded in U.S. birth data in 1982. It peaked in popularity in 1992, the same year it reached its highest rank. Since then its use has been stable but very infrequent, with only about 1 in every 284,679 boys receiving the name in recent years. The name is a shortened variation of Jabril, the Arabic form of Gabriel, and is used primarily within Muslim and African American communities. Its brevity and distinctive sound keep it from breaking into the mainstream, remaining an uncommon choice.
Jabri is typically a diminutive or variant of Jabril, which itself is the Arabic form of the Hebrew name Gabriel (גַּבְרִיאֵל), meaning 'God is my strength.' As a standalone given name, Jabri is rare and modern, used mainly in the late 20th and early 21st centuries among African American and Muslim families in the United States.
