Name list

Gábor (sometimes written Gabor; Hungarian: [ˈɡaːbor]) is a Hungarian male given name. Its equivalent in English is Gabriel. Gábor originated from the Hebrew name Gabriel and was transmitted to the Hungarian language through the Latin form Gabirianus ~ Gabriel. In medieval writings, shortened forms such as Gab and the derived Gabus also appear.[1] The Hungarian variation was formed by consonant cluster reduction and the shortening of the Latin version. The meaning of the original Hebrew name is 'Man of God' or 'Champion of God'.[1] The name first appeared in Hungarian charters in the first half of the 12th century.[1]
