Gabrielle Prendergast: Hello. My name is Gabrielle Prendergast. My first name, Gabrielle, is a variation of the name Gabriel, and I'm named after my father. His name was Gabriel, and he technically is named after the angel Gabriel, who's a character from the Bible.
My last name, Prendergast, even though it sounds unusual, is quite a common name in Ireland. If you ever met anyone called Prendergast, chances are they have ancestors in Ireland. The name originated with the Normans, who if you didn't know, were actually Vikings. So, there you go. I'm named after angels and vikings. Gabrielle Prendergast.
