Gabrielsson

Gabrielsson is a surname of Swedish origin, a patronymic formed from the given name Gabriel with the suffix -sson, meaning "son of Gabriel." It traditionally indicated lineage and was common in Swedish-speaking areas from the late Middle Ages onward. The spelling Gabrielsson follows the standard Swedish convention; variants include Gabrielson and, in neighboring Nordic countries, Gabrielsen (Norwegian) or Gabrielsen (Danish). The family name appears across Sweden and among Finnish Swedes, and in immigrant communities in North America, particularly in regions with Swedish heritage. The name is borne by individuals in diverse fields, including sports, academia, arts, and public life, reflecting its broad use as a hereditary surname rather than a title or occupation.
