According to this site the name 'Jibraan' means reward!
Although the spellings different i think the name is the same

Peace

I really dunno what linguistic basis would get the site to make 'Jibraan' to mean reward

Jibraan
جبران

from the root

Jabara
جبر

which means to fix ,support, strengthen

so Jibraan would mean the same as the name
مصلح
which means supporter,fixer .....
