What Gábor means
Where Gábor comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Gábor is the Hungarian form of the name Poles write as Gabriel. Both grow from Hebrew Gavri'el, which pairs gever, a word for strength, with el, meaning God. Read plainly, the name says: god is my strength.
The strength here is borrowed. The name sets a person under God's power and does not credit his own arm. A boy called Gábor wears a short sentence about where force comes from.
History hands the name a firm bearer. Gábor Bethlen ruled Transylvania as prince from 1613 to 1629. He founded a college at Gyulafehérvár and kept his small state solvent. On a Polish class register the Hungarian spelling stands out beside Gabriel, yet the two keep one root, one el, one meaning: god is my strength.
