It appears to be a Hebrew name meaning "God is my crown" or "my crown is God". It would be masculine, though I have found a fairly even mix of males and females with this name upon searching. I have yet to come across Katriela, but if the feminine of Gabriel is Gabriela / Gabriella, then I don't see why it wouldn't work.

Katriel might not necessarily be only masculine. Hebrew is funny that way. Girls' names can end in the letter "l" or "lamed" in Hebrew.(Jezebel, Rachel, etc.)

Good point.

I don't know why that didn't even occur to me. Guess my brain wasn't fully functioning. Thanks. :)
