WHY "EL ABRIGO"????
My name is Labri (la-BREE) and I have loved the Spanish language since the 6th grade when I was first required to take a foreign language. Until then, I had not seen my unique name in print. Then I read “el abrigo” in my Spanish textbook and noticed my name right there in the middle of it. In Spanish, el abrigo means “the coat”. My parents chose my name because in French, Labri (L'Abri) means “the shelter” and it was their prayer for me to be a protective, safe place for those in need. As an admirer of humor, including puns, I want you to know that just like coats and shelters, I have you “covered” in your Spanish language journey.
