Origin & Meaning
AI-WrittenAn American late-twentieth-century elaboration of Brian, rooted in the Old Irish word for strength or hill. The spelling with an -ea- emerged in the 1960s as parents looked for an airier companion to Brenda and Brianne. By the mid-1990s, it had fully separated from its Celtic ancestry to become a standard suburban staple.
