A nickname for the name Gabriel, or informally, a gab or amount of talking (archaic usage).
Gabriel comes from Hebrew 'Gavri'el' meaning 'God is my strength.' The nickname 'Gabe' became standard by the 19th century. The slang sense relates to 'gab' (to talk).
Gabriel is one of the most famous archangels in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—the messenger angel—so naming people Gabe literally means giving them a divine messenger's name without realizing it.
