Brielle is a modern name made by shortening Gabrielle, the French feminine of Gabriel. Gabriel is the archangel of the Bible, and Strong's concordance gives the Hebrew Gavriʾel as "man of God", from geber, "man", and ʾel, "God". Name lists usually translate it as "God is my strength", reading geber through its root, which means to be strong; the dictionaries themselves give "man of God". As an independent first name Brielle is a recent American choice. Its sound, bree-EL, is soft and simple, and it works well with Indian surnames.
