History & Origin
Briell is a pared-down Brielle, which itself grew from Gabrielle, the French form of Gabriel, 'God is my strength'. As Brielle climbed in popularity, spellings like Briell appeared for parents wanting the sound with a leaner, more modern look.
It has never been common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its high near 2009. The fuller Brielle has always been far more common, so Briell reads as a distinctive minimalist choice.
