Jibril Family History

Jibril Surname Meaning

Muslim (mainly Nigeria, Somalia, and the Levant): from the Arabic personal name Jibrīl, equivalent of the Biblical Gabriel. The Koran, the holy book of Islam, was revealed to the prophet Muhammad by the angel Jibrīl (‘Gabriel’).

— Note: Since Somalis (also from e.g. Ethiopia) do not have hereditary surnames, this name was registered as such only after immigration of its bearers to the US.
