* As an English surname, related to the noun gable. * As a German and Jewish surname, Americanized from Gabel. Also see Göbel and Goebel.

The southern English term gable probably came from Old French gable (compare modern French gâble), from Old Norse gafl. The northern form gavel is perhaps also akin to Old Norse gafl, masculine, of the same meaning (compare Swedish gavel, Danish gavl). See gafl for more etymology information.
