Meaning: Briahnna is a fuller respelling of Brianna, the feminine form of the Irish Brian, which traces to an old Celtic root meaning 'high, noble' and, by extension, 'strong.' The added h and doubled n give the familiar name a more decorative modern look without changing its inherited meaning.Low

History & Origin
Briahnna is one of the many creative respellings of Brianna that flourished in American naming from the nineteen-nineties onward. Brianna itself is the feminine of Brian, an Irish name from a Celtic element meaning 'high' or 'noble,' often read as 'strong.' The variant keeps that meaning while dressing it in extra letters.
It was never common in this form, given to only about fifteen girls a year even at its peak around 2009, while the standard Brianna was far more widespread. A girl named Briahnna then is a teenager today, part of the tail end of the Brianna era.
