The history of the first name Gabbanelli

The given name Gabbanelli has its roots in the Italian language and culture. Its origins can be traced back to the late medieval period, around the 13th or 14th century, when it was likely derived from the Italian word "gabbano," which referred to a type of long, hooded cloak or coat worn by peasants and working-class individuals.
