Various origins:
* Borrowed from German Gabe, from a short form of several personal names beginning with the Proto-Germanic element *gabį̄ (“wealth, riches”).
* Borrowed from French Gabe, perhaps a nickname from Old French gabe (“joke”), from the verb gaber (“to tell jokes”).
* English surname, from a pet form of the personal name Gabriel, or alternatively a nickname from Middle English gabbe (“falsehood, deceit, lie”).
