well if we want to go really deep we could look at the gematria of the name.. in hebrew Gabriel is גבריאל which enumerates to 246 which also enumerates to Rebel, Unrighteous, Light, Oracle, Wounded, Compass, appearance, know, hide, way, and word.
in the greek γαβριηλ enumerates to 154 which gives us correspondence to Judgement (day), age, grave, journey, rejoice and message.
take from that what you will...
