The form of Gaby. In many dialects a silly fellow. More probably a nick-name of Gabriel.

A variant of Gabb. The London Directory shows us several traders gifted with this patronymic, which historian Ferguson thinks derivable from the Old High German geban, to give. It is more probably a nick-name of Gabriel. Or it may relate to loquacity, for the Anglo-Norman gubber means to jest or talk idly.
