The -el that ends a family of names
Hebrew names ending in -el carry the divine element as a suffix, and there are more of them than English speakers usually notice: Michael, Daniel, Raphael, Samuel, Israel, Nathaniel. Gabriel is built on gever, a strong man, and the same ending. It appears in the Book of Daniel and again in Luke, and English has used it steadily since the Middle Ages without ever making it a top-ten name. It is thirty-seventh in the United States.
Thirty-six, and two nines inside it
G is 7, A is 1, B is 2, R is 9, I is 9, E is 5 and L is 3. The R and the I sit next to each other in the middle of the name at 9 apiece, which is 18 of the 36; the total folds to 9 in one step because three plus six is nine. The consonants G, B, R and L reach 21 and fold to 3. On the vowel side A stays at 1, I falls from 9 to 6 and E from 5 to 3, so the three come to ten and the Soul Urge is 1.
Is Gabriella related for the calculation?
Only by history. Gabriella has three more letters, including a doubled L and two more A letters, so its total is far larger.
Why do R and I carry the same value?
The table runs in rows of nine, and both letters sit ninth in their row — I ends the first, R ends the second. Both are worth nine.
Does Gabe count separately?
It does. Four letters instead of seven, and no I or L, so the total drops sharply and every figure changes with it.
