Name of an angel given to girls: scholars differ
Feminine form of Gabriel (Jibril, the angel of revelation). The naming rules flag angel names for girls because Qur'an 43:19 criticises those who made the angels female; this is a feminine name derived from an angel's name, not the angel's name itself. Low confidence: a scholar's call.
Confidence: low
