The first name 
Gabrial

Gabrial is a first name for boys, occasionally also given to girls.

Gabrial – one in 100,000!

There’s a good chance that a boy named Gabrial in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Gabrial in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Gabrial by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Gabrial ranks at #4,395. That means there are 4,394 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Gabrial.

Gabrial -
special from day one

In fact, the name Gabrial hardly fits the trend of first names for boys. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Gabrial wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1976, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,360, 35 parents chose it in 1976 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Gabrial, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Gabrial was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
