Did you know?

  • In Korea, 가브리엘 is rarely used as a legal name and is most often used as a 'baptismal name' by Catholics.
  • Because the sound 'v' does not exist in Korean, the 'v' in Gabriel is replaced with the 'b' sound, resulting in 가브리엘.
  • Korean speakers may add the honorific suffix -님 to the name, making it 가브리엘님, to show respect to the person.
