Couldn't find GABBA, but the Germanic stem GABA (gift). This appears in names like GABSO or GABAHARI. A short form, even with a double B is possible, but there seems to be no proof for this as far as Germany is concerned.

Thanks Andy!! - read on...Gorl maybe mean girl/ young person but i can't prove it
All of these recent names i'm searching for were 9th Century invaders of England, whether Viking or Anglo Saxon/ Jute. I'm looking at the origins of local places of that period and the names behind each settlement... regards Bagpus (Paul)...
